I'm pretty interested in early ww2, and while I was writing a timeline, an interesting POD came to mind. What if Belgium stayed allied with France during ww2? As I was thinking about this, it really seemed to change the strategy. Would Germany still risk going to war with the allies? Would they attack at all? If so, what strategy? If the allies declared war on Germany in 1939 like OTL, it would definitely put both sides in a pickle. Hitler would need to attack sometime, because the mobilization and subsequent blockade would hurt the economy, but an attack would be costly. Also, the Manstein plan probably wouldn't work, given the fact that the allies would already be in place in belgium, and could move around fast enough. What are your thoughts? Some more perspectives (and probably better informed ones too) are always helpful.
