America and Germany officially become allies:
Part 3: The Giant Wakes
Hitler, Mussolini, and Tojo have all expanded their nations much like IOTL. The world is shocked when on August 23, 1939 the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was announced. This particularly causes tensions between the Axis and Axis leaning powers themselves. The US, reapproaching with Hitler for the past couple of years immediately ceases talks with Germany for entry into the Axis powers as a sign of protest. This however does not result in the termination of the TNAMA between the two powers.
On September 1st, World War 2 officially begins with the German Invasion of Poland. Britain and France are more reluctant to honor their guarantee with Poland due to fear that the US may join as an Axis Power, but they correctly assume that the MRP has driven a wedge between the two nations and declare war on Germany anyway. The US declares "neutrality" but is secretly planning to join the war. MacArthur and the US are unsure that Germany could even win due to the strategic advantage the Allies have, and along with the MRP this results in the "neutrality" of America.
However things swing in favor of the Axis when Denmark, Norway, France, and the BeNeLux fall in rapid succession, leaving Britain to fight alone. WC becomes PM like IOTL and continues the war. The axis triumph in Europe has quickly changed the mind of the American Nationalists. They believe remaining neutral would be declining a "golden opportunity" to declare war on the Allies and carve out their empires. In March, America announced a full embargo on all "belligerent Allied Nations" and a lend lease between Germany and the US. While this embargo does little harm to the British (it actually does more harm to the US), it demonstrated to the world the stance of the USA and that its involvement is imminent. War Plan Red is secretly planned with an invasion of Canada (including an assault on Halifax) along with simultaneous amphibious landings in the Bahamas and Bermuda. In late June, British morale is sunken further as American troops cross the Canadian border on multiple fronts and sucessfully overrun the Bahamas and Bermuda (only lightly defended). However, the battle of Halifax results in a disaster as the amphibious assault encounters heavy resistance and is soundly defeated. This lifts Canadian morale, but not much. As a result the Americans learn much from the landings which would later prove to be valuable later on...
On the 4th of July Hitler visits New York to announce the official Entry into the Axis in a grand ceremony and parade. The papers are finalized later in Washington D.C.
With Ultranationalist America on the side of the Germans the British position is all but hopeless, but Churchill refuses to surrender. How will the war turn out? And what will happen should the Axis prevail?
