There are several Scenarios,for a France Stops Fall Gelb, [pick your favorite]. So assume that France Wins in May. By June it is apparent that France will Hold.
Italy doesn't join the War, and slowly France with British Help begins to push the Germans Back.

Now it was apparent before WW 1 that the US was headed for the pre-eminent position as the worlds #1 Industrial/Economic Power.
During WW 1the US flexed it's growing powere a little, but after the War the US returned to Political & Military isolation. By 1938 the US military was smaller than countries like Belgium or Portugal.

This changed after the Fall of France, beginning a Military buildup that would end with 16 Million Americans passing thru the Military by end of 1945.
The mixing and moving of both Military and Home Front Personnel, fundamentally changed the US. Basically removing a lot of Cultural Sectionalism, and helping develop a Unified US Culture.

However in a France never Falls TL, There will not be this moving and mixing. The US will stay isolated, Sectionalism will remain powerful.

?So how will this US develop? ?Will the growing Industrial/Economic Power eventually force the US out of it's isolation?
