Well, if some of the more Anti-American Britons are to be believed, the British Empire would still rule to this day as the pre-eminent world power.Since, as everyone knows, Britain didn't LOSE their Empire, FDR destroyed it!

The Empire's fading away had nothing to do with the cost of WWI (FDR as Assistant Secretary of the Navy kept us out of the war for three years single-handedly in his life long quest to destroy Britannia). Not with trying to maintain an Empire that was no longer economical (because FDR, even as a private citizen and while dealing with a "mild" case of polio, was using all his political contacts in New York City to sabotage British trade agreements). Not because Britain was suffering the costs of the Depression (that FDR deliberately failed to fix as the Depression would continue to weaken Perfidious Albion
). Not because of the costs Britain would pay in WWII because Roosevelt-who came to power the same year Hitler did-(suspicious, suspicious) refused to remove Hitler. Not because Britain elected three prime ministers in a row (MacDonald, Baldwin, Chamberlain) who refused to allow FDR a role in European political affairs because they knew that such a villain could not be trusted. Not like they could trust a Good European like Hitler!

OK, before I get reported for trolling/flaming/baiting/square-dancing in a roundhouse,let me just say: these are not my words. Just PM Devolved. Or check out his ongoing "Happy and Glorious" TL. He'll tell you what's REALLY true about Franklin Roosevelt. Just be prepared afterwards to thoroughly flush out your brains with 50% bleach. Clorox, not that bargain shit.

Of course, FDR didn't exercise the secret provision of the Treaty of Versailles that said that at any time the President of the United States could depose the sitting government of Germany. They even made every German alive swear binding oaths to that effect. Quite appalling that FDR didn't utilize that to depose the Nazis and instead used them as his instrument to destroy the British Empire and perpetuate communism. So really, any TL without FDR is inherently better, because any other US president would have deposed Hitler in 1933.
