I mean that's probably the most likely out come, although the war would probably extend for a few years and several million more dead.

If Pearl Harbor never happened, we would probably live in a very different world. Remember our soldiers who fought and died for our freedom. Remember the fallen, respect them, so their sacrifice does not go in vain.

Yup. But the Nazis would lose, it was inevitable.
The South Americans may have had more impact perhaps,

Doubt it. The only Latin American countries to send armed forces in any significant numbers where Mexico (fighter attachment with the Americans in the Pacific) and the Brazilians. They where fine with just being the Allies' grocery store.
the Chinese,

Dout it. During the war they where extremel;y relighent on supplies and weapons from the US and Uk (and Soviets as well I think, might be post war). Aside from that the Japanese pretty much had them beat, and there was only one road into China from British India. and the Japanese captured it irl too.
Arabs,

Under the control of the English and French, mainly used as for resources and strategic positioning.
maybe Turks

Doubt it.
, and Australians+Canadians as well.

The Aussies might be able to repel any potential Japanese invasion, but besides that I see them mainly doing as much as they did in the irl war.
Most of the time I have no idea what the hell I'm doing or talking about.

FDR would no doubt keep up lend lease and selling stuff to boost the economy which would help the USSR.
It'd take longer, but the Nazis and Japanese would lose.


Take away lend lease and the war would go on even longer. Eliminate the rest of the Allies and the war would go on much longer.

We've always been at war with Nazi Germany, Comrade.

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

The most fundamental problem of politics is not the control of wickedness but the limitation of righteousness.

One death is a tragedy, a million is a statistic.

Took me a while to realise the truth behind that quote.

So is that how they made Captain America, just combine the body parts of three Allied soldiers together?

What do you think about Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day?


I don't?

For real. :?

Up until I saw this, I legit forget this was a thing.

Wow, Franky was wrong. That day did not live in infamy, at all.

You didn't have anyone to remind you bud? Wife? Doting helicopter mom? Weirdly overly enthusiastic HR person who's far too involved in everyone's personal lives at your job? Alexa? No one?

You know what it probably was? You work too hard.

You need to relax, enjoy life and try to remember your purely symbolic celebratory occasions like your birthday. You don't know how many more of those you have you know?

I forget several stuff.
Maybe that's why my friends always forget my birthday...


Don't worry, they're probably just being passive aggressive.

You know, 'forgetting' your birthday and then going off to a cafe or a party or something and snickering to one another about how mad you'll be that they forgot your special day?

This has been your daily reminder of your own mortality, because THAT'S what I needed today. :p
