Lets say Japan never occupies southern Indochina, no oil embargo, no attack on USA/Brit/Dutch territories, no Pearl Harbor, USA still neutral in 1942, Japan still engaged in China, Germany avoids provocations with USA in Atlantic.
How does 1942 play out in Europe with USA neutral:
a) It seems the British could keep more divisions in Libya in early 1942 and have more fleet units in Alexandria. Could Tripoli be occupied by the British in July 1942?
b) Could the Soviets get considerably more Lend Lease in 1942 (USA shipping unaffected and can more easily ship Lend Lease to Persian Gulf and Vladivostok). Could this mean an even worse catastrophe on the eastern front for the Germans in late 1942?
c) Would any German divisions in France or Norway be freed up for use elsewhere because of less threat of invasion with USA neutral?
d) Anything else?
