How bad can the relationship between the two western Allied powers get? Compared to the relationship with the USSR, Britain and the USA coordinated their campaigns very well, shared secret technology, etc. But what if arrogance from the US and Britain caused them to try and fight the Axis on their own terms, to pursue their own interests? How bad can it get?
Ideas I had:
Delayed Manhattan project
Decreased technology sharing on radar and electronics
Solo British Invasion of Balkans
Solo American Invasion of France
More American priority on Pacific Theater
Americans back Darlan and other Vichy defectors, Britain separately backs DeGaulle
America supports independence of liberated colonies like Hong Kong, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Malaysia if they get there first
How many of these could plausibly happen? What would it take to get them to happen? Could it get worse?
