Is it true or false that England would have surrendered if the English army at Dunkirk have been destroyed(pod:no miracle of Dunkirk)
But politically would England make peace?False. Look at the forces still in the UK during the evacuation. There was more than enough there to throw Hitler back into the channel, assuming any Germans even made it ashore after the Royal Navy got through with them. I forget who said it (other than an RN Admiral), but to quote him, "I do not say that they will not come. Only that they will not come by sea."
Not a chance. Politically, they were already prepared to write off something like 90% of those men. Never in a million years did they think they would get them all out.But politically would England make peace?

Possibly. But even Halifax wasn't a "peace at any cost" politician. Churchill could rally the people pretty easily. Hell, the people of TTL wouldn't know how successful OTL evacuation of Dunkirk was, so Churchill would trumpet every soldier brought off as a success.It would presumably make Halifax's position stronger in cabinet though, given the Italians were nearing their own entry and the situation would look somewhat more hopeless than OTL.
I’m confused why is this in the after 1900 section? The English haven’t had an army since 1707 following the act of union with Scotland. So this question must be referring to something that happened before then.Is it true or false that England would have surrendered if the English army at Dunkirk have been destroyed(pod:no miracle of Dunkirk)

I know, but the fact that people are often ignorant, and wrong is no reason for me not to try to educate them in interesting ways.In the United States, the United Kingdom is often just referred to as England, similar to those who call the Netherlands Holland.

I know a guy who had an American ask him if he was English or British. Some confused geographical thinking going on there. He was actually a New Zealander.
Britishness is under attack from those who wish to destroy the union that made the modern world. I was born in England as were my parents. My ancestors come from all parts of the United Kingdom. I'm British and those who say there's no such thing can go to H***.

Assuming all of the Troops evacuated at Dunkirk are captured then that is 200,000 men. The British Empire put 9 million men into uniform during WW2. So no. False.Is it true or false that England would have surrendered if the English army at Dunkirk have been destroyed(pod:no miracle of Dunkirk)
