What would have happened if the Japanese invasion of French Indonesia in 1940 grew into a larger war between Japan and the Western powers? For example, if the colonial leaders of Vietnam went Free French in exchange for protection from Britain? Another scenario would be the French fleet and colonies continuing the war from overseas from the beginning. If there was a late 1940 war between Britain (with or without Free French forces) and Japan, how would it go? The situation in the Mediterranean dictates how much the Allies can send to fight in the Pacific, but the Kido Butai probably isn't as dangerous in 1940 as it was in 1941. When does the U.S.A. get involved? How does this affect the Allies performance in other theaters?
