Nearly all the threads about, what if the Axis did this, that or the other and, what if X-Country joined the Axis come to the conclusion that the war may last a few months longer and be even bloodier, but Hitler still shoots himself in his bunker and Mussolini is still hanged from a lamppost.

If the Axis was going to win it had to be by a combination of several changes from OTL.

In the case of X-Country, how many countries have to join the Axis to ensure an European Axis victory and which ones? The British Empire, Soviet Union and United States are not allowed.

Changes to the economies and armed forces of the additional Axis members are not allowed, unless it is a by-product of making the countries pro-Axis and/or anti-British enough to enter the war on the Axis side.

Victory means Germany and Italy keep more territory than they did in before Germany invaded Poland in a negotiated peace with the UK, USA and USSR.

My personal opinion is that this will only work if the UK and/or Soviet Union are forced to surrender by the end of 1941. This is because after that the Allied material superiority is too great.
