Lord Ismay stated in 1949 that NATO's goal was "to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down." This stems my curiosity of how a proto-NATO alliance would have done against the Axis Powers. Although the need for such an alliance was low pre-World War II and peace was most sought after, say that German, Italian, and Soviet aggression was better foreseen in Europe, making the need for a defensive alliance much higher. The Alliance would consist of Albania, Belgium, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, and the United Kingdom. The most that isolate United States could do for the Alliance is the Lend-Lease Program pre-Pearl Harbor.
