there were many in the UK who wanted to make peace with Germany, perhaps in some alternative timeline the UK never gets involved to begin with and focuses on their own empires, perhaps if Oswald Mosley somehow took power he would join forces with Germany to gain French colonies, interesting potential but a lot of if's

I think it's quite possible that the UK in this situation does not get involved in ww1 or ww2, since those wars were about preventing Germany from becoming too powerfull in Europe with a focus now on imperial Federation, few of the colonies would be willing or interested in going forward with such a war, since in our timeline a big motivator of ww1 for them was gaining Independence from the UK in the first place. India is unlikely to be integrated indeed though I dont see how have percentage popular representation is impossible, it works for the USA, why not India?

what do you mean? they beat the Russians in ww1 while being in a two front war and bad allies, also you can take a look at the performance of the USSR during ww2 or the winterwar to see how many men they lost, the idea that this somehow makes the Germans look weak even in the rushed state that was opperation Barbarosa does not do the USSR any favours. The USSR was not that great during ww2, it's greatest advantage was it's sheer size and manpower and it threw both in vast quantity to get a pyrrhic victory, it's hard not to argue that some changes here and there could get a very different result, you don't have to be a Wehraboo to notice these things.

I do find it a bit confusing how Japan could beat Russia in the the Russio-Jappanese war and Germany could beat the Russian empire in ww1 but Germany and Japan combined on a much larger scale then either were before somehow could not adapt to beat Russia in ww2. I know that comparing Russia in ww1 vs the USSR in ww2 is a bit dishonest since a lot changed between those years but I do question how the USA would get involved, granted FDR was trying to get involved in ww2 but if Japan does not attack Pearl Harbor and Japan could block off any shipments of good from the east to the west from the Russian far east then this would change a lot going into the war, it also matters at what point does Japan join? if opperation Barbarosa is well underway and Japan attack right in the middle then it's effects will be quite minimal since it's already on a lot of other fronts and can't really use it's navy which it invested a lot of money and effort into. However a Japan that somehow makes a real effort to invade the USSR at the same time as Germany right when it started would give it more time to prepare and cut off all of far east Russia, the effects of this on Russian Moral and logistic is also overlooked as this weakens the troops in the west that need supplies, the USSR in our timeline lost over 20 million people, in this alternative timeline it could be much higher, thus leadership at the top or people below could very well decide to give up. changing all this would be significant and could change the outcome of the war but granted it's minor compared to other possible alternative historic paths, to get a real alternative outcome for sure there would be multiple changes you sometimes see in a Heart of Iron 4 game, like a Oswald Mosley rising in the UK to ignore anything going on in Europe or even allying with Germany or Japan not going into China and focussing soley on the USSR (assuming they improved their land army) or a Germany that does not make certain military mistakes or promises independence from the USSR thereby getting more manpower and weakening soviet resolve. The USSR was not invincible, hell the only one who really was is the USA with them out of the war things quickly change.

@jwil4286 if his party was not banned, the prince not exiled and the war start a few years later he could have gotten into power.

pretty much the biggest weakness of the axis powers indeed their lack of coordination, the allies did only slightly better but they had more resources, manpower and less reason to backstab and mistrust eachother. as for Japan, getting involved with China worked out pretty well before but this time they chewed up way more then they could chew so that was a major mistake, it was getting involved in China that caused the oil embargo by the USA so avoiding that as much as possible would have been best. taking the colonies and leaving China alone would have been the best and easiest bet, might have gotten them more oil and maintain the oil from the USA though even then that would be a big risk. at that point they should have prepared for an invasion of the USSR, after all China is hard, USA is a no-no but if Germany is planning on going into the USSR anyways and you have nothing else left to try and take over, you could risk making sure no other European power could threaten you which was Japan's main goal to begin with and getting resources, the Russian far east and potential oil from the west of Russia via Germany could have been a potential good deal but if you were wise you would indeed just keep the colonies and hope in the end nobody comes back for them.

@joeyjojojrshabadoo7462 uhhhh Germany in ww1 went into Russia and won, Japan took a bunch of lands from Russia though granted the land war did not go so well as the sea battles.

@jwil4286 I believe it would have been a majority for his party. The empire would probably still be around, since the main goal of Mosley's fascism was less rights for the natives in the colonies and more privilages for the dominions and the home countries, probably would have sparked a war in India and potentially Canada would have left the empire to join forces with the USA, though that's just speculation.

@azlanadil3646 I believe it was in the interwar period, probably between 1920-1939

@JB-yb4wn it was crown dominion till something like 1948

As for south africa, I don't see how you could see a more racist and colonial south africa pushing for total british replacement of the native population in order to maintain their white majority both in south Africa and within the empire

@azlanadil3646 General election 1924: Birmingham Ladywood Between Nevil Chamberlain and Oswald Mosley but for some reason there is not a lot of information on it via wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rise_of_Neville_Chamberlain Bottom page, elections.
