AHC: WWII with a divided Britain

Spawned from a bit of unclarity in the OP here, how might a WWII of "Germany, Britain and France vs USSR and Britain" come to pass? I'll leave the date of the POD relatively open, but at least after the Act of Union, and preferably after mid-19th C.

So Britain is fighting on both sides and against itself? :D

Well, you have to be careful regarding butterflies. Without WW1 of OTL you probably won't have the USSR, so maybe you will need a late POD. Maybe France, Germany and Britain could be allied against the Soviet Union, but you need to prevent the Nazis rise to power, and probably Stalin to be just a bit more aggressive to achieve this.

Yep. The OP in the thread that spawned this idea wanted "Germany, Britain and France vs USSR as well as USA and Britain vs Japan", but posted it in a gramatically vague sentence that suggested "Germany, Britain and France vs USSR and Britain as well as USA vs Japan", which I thought was more interesting.

I expected as much as to the date of the POD, but wanted to leave it open. In that spirit, consider the USSR to be open to being Russia or some other entity as well. :)

Oh, I see! Sorry, missed all that as well as your title of a "divided Britain"! :eek:
