  1. There were only ever seven US Divisions in Tunisia. British 1st Army alone was larger, without even mentioning 8th Army, which had, by the way, already defeated the axis forces in North Africa before Torch even happened.

  2. What grounds do you have for thinking so ?

  3. You do know that Japan & Britain are some distance apart? How would the Japanese fleet even get to European waters?

  4. Then the Royal Navy still maintains the Northern Patrol, and even more Germans die of starvation and hypothermia before Germany collapses into anarchy.

  5.  @jasongraham8250  Why would there be no American loans, even if the US remained neutral? US banks were making vast profits from them. The eastern front had already collapsed as Russia degenerated into anarchy, and troops from there had been used in the St. Michael offensive of March 1918, intended to break through to the Channel, and drive the BEF into the sea. By early April, it had failed, when it was finally stopped just east of Amiens, at Villers-Bretonneux. Add to that the facts that the U-Boat offensive had been overcome, and the High Seas Fleet was in a state of near mutiny, then Hindenburg & Ludendorff had more or less accepted that the end was in sight. The arrival of large numbers of fresh American troops had a profound psychological effect both on the allies and the Germans, but they were not involved in the defeat of the St. Michael offensive, and by the time they actually began to operate independently, they were pushing at an open door.
