What would have happened if Germany won every battle during World War II?

Guerilla warfare like in Iraq would be happening and we would be the "terrorists".

Because no one else would.  Everyone knew how bad Hitler was, and they were powerless to stop him.  Since the discovery of nuclear bombs, the US has actively been trying to prevent WWIII, by stopping every country that could use them, or in the case of Viet Nam, stop a twisted ideology from taking hold.\nSometimes we're wrong.  But no one ever said we were perfect, least of all us regular Joes and Janes.

I assume you meant if the attack had not of happened.\n\nThe answer is Yes. Japan was coaxed into attacking Pearl Harbor by the US. We had been blockading Japanese trade routes with  Navy ships prior to the attack. It could be argued that the attack on Pearl Harbor was justified, given the circumstances (though the reasons for the blockade and Japanese aggression in Asia should also be mentioned).\n\nThe War in the Pacific against Japan and the War in Europe against Germany were two separate wars. Japan and Germany were loose allies, primarily because of their common enemy. They did have some similar policies - namely, belief in their own racial superiority and the desire to expand their empires - but they would've eventually been enemies if the outcome of WWII was different.\n\n---------------\n\nOne additional point: The US Government WANTED war with Japan because they were adversely affecting our interests in Asia. However, the US was just recovering from the Great Depression, and World War I was still fresh in the public's mind. There was no public support to go to war in either Europe or the Pacific. The attack on Pearl Harbor changed that very quickly.\n\nDoes that sound similar to, say, 9/11 and WMD's in Iraq? Figure that out for yourself!

German resistance would have collapsed sooner.  The Allies were going for "Unconditional Surrender" no matter who was in charge for the Germans.  The result for the most part would have been the same, probably saving a significant number of lives on both sides. The political climate may have been more friendly between east & west over the next 60 years.  There might not have been the partitioning of Germany the way it was.  And maybe it could have freed up a lot of needed resources to get the Pacific war ended sooner also.

Essentially, WW2 was a result of this and other factors, including unrealistic expectations and unresolved conflicts from WW1. Millions were killed in Europe, Russia, Asia Minor, Asia, China, the Pacific Island nations, the US troops fighting in those theaters of war, and involved virtually the entire world. The United States emerged as the leading powerhouse and the Soviet Union a major nemesis until its collapse in 1989-1990.

The US tried very hard to avoid this war and for a long time it ignored all the help requests that came from Europe. \nLikely for all the world, Japan attacked the US at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7 1941 (http://education.yahoo.com/reference/encyclopedia/entry/PearlHar )  and by that forced the US the join the war.\n\nIf Japan would not have done that, it is safe to assume that Germany would have win this war and got enough time to build an atom bomb. That would have influence all the world, imagine a Nazi regime with such a weapon.\n\nBTW- kingjoey66- Albert Einstein tried to warn the US government about the intense German efforts to develop the atom bomb but was almost arrested for that. Einstein was not involved with the atomic bomb development at all. His only (and major) contribution to the development is to show that such energy exists in any material.

If Germany would have known when to stop with it's expansionism, Nazism would probably still be in place.\n    Sucking up a few smaller countries just wasn't enough for the madman Hitler, he had to push his agenda of extermination of the Jews and total world conquest.

America would win, hands down.

The plan was to split the forces  by attacking through to Amsterdam. They would grab the biggest port in Europe and then hold out for a negotiated settlement. Hitler probably did not believe he could win but wanted to prolong the war and bloodshed so he could stop the war before the allies got to Germany. His high command did not agree with the plan but he was the boss.

World war 2. Around 1938. Time of hitler coming to power.

During the 1930s, Germany, Italy, and Japan tried to build world empires at the expense of others.  This resulted in a world war as other nations attempted to stop them.  World War II was the most destructive war in human history and became a turning point in history as is resulted in the division of the world into two competing political ideologies: Democracy and Communism.\n\nRise of Fascism\nFascism is the rule of a people by a dictatorial government that is both nationalistic and imperialistic.  Fascist are also anti-communist.  Fascism rose in Italy and Germany due to a severe economic depression that caused widespread poverty.  Benito Mussolini in Italy, and Adolf Hitler in Germany both promised solutions to these problems, and were able to win the support of the masses as they took absolute control over their countries.  Imperialistic goals in Italy, Germany, and Japan resulted in the start of World War II. \n\nThe War\nGermany, Italy, and Japan formed the Axis Powers and waged war against the Allies, composed of Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union.  The war was waged across the globe, with major battles taking place in Europe, North Africa, and various Pacific Islands.  War in Europe ended after the destruction of Germany in the Spring of 1945, and ended in the Pacific after the United States dropped two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan in August of that same year.  World War II is a turning point because it marks the beginning of the Nuclear Age, and because it resulted in the creation of the two Superpowers, the Soviet Union and the United States. \n\nRebuilding Japan and Germany\nRather than repeat the mistake made by the Versailles Treaty which severely punished Germany for World War One, the allies occupied and rebuilt Japan and Germany. During this occupation, democratic governments were established and infrastructure destroyed during the war was rebuilt. West Germany and Japan would go on to become very competitive economically, often being ranked and compared to the United States.\n\nColonialism Ends\nAfter World War Two, self-determination was extended beyond Europe to regions across the world. Former colonial possessions of European nations such as India and French Indochina became sovereign nations, establishing their own governments.\n\nDemocracy vs. Communism\nAfter the war, the United States and other democratic nations formed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), which was a military alliance against communism.  The Soviet Union, which had gained control of most of Eastern Europe during the war, formed the Warsaw Pact, a military alliance against NATO.  This period of conflict between democratic and communist countries is known as the Cold War.  The two Superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union, dominated world events for nearly 50 years after the end of the war.

Is this for real?Sounds bizarre,I missed"Fatherland"about what it would be like if Germany won WWII.

The Germans at the time had technology comparable or superior to most countries of the time prior to the advent of A-Bomb. The Germans were well trained and had expert leadership. \n\nToward the end of the war, Germany had in development: nukes (heavy water), long range rockets/missiles, jet propulsion, the STG-44 (grandfather to the AK-47) among other things. They were a civilized society, but the ideology of their leadership would ultimately prove to be their downfall...\n\nThe regular army didn't fight a guerilla war that I know of. They used conventional means like the Allies.

well, if he had finished it, you wold be dead. Because hitler liked the GERMAN arian race, not just all white or anglo or saxon. So no.

Its doubtful.\n\nIn 1944 the German military was far from being a spent force and fought hard along the whole line of advance. Also the D-Day landings were only part of the issue as to properly equip and maintain the invasion forces you had to have a working port, which is why the British pushed quickly north and fought so hard to capture Antwerp. \n\nIt was only then that Motgomery and Patton could get the basic supplies they needed to push forward without over extending supply lines, so there was a strong logistics hold up.\n\nThe third element was Hitlers last gasp attempt to break the allies in the Battle of the Bulge, which no-one expected. Whilst ultimately defeated that German attack set the war plans back at least two months whilst units were rested and re-cycled into and out of the battle zone.\n\nIt is also true that Patton and Montgomery were halted before the wars end so that the Russians could take Berlin. This was against the advice and wishes of Churchill who could see what was going to happen. lke however didnt want the casualties associated with street fighting in the German capital.

The world is always at war, every day nations fight nations, there has been more conflict since the end of the WWII than any other time in recorded history.  So will everybody be fighting everybody at some stage in the future, defiantly yes, when will it happen - who knows.

I don't know any Americans who think that, but it's nice to know that British people want all the credit. It wasn't dependent on any one single country. It would have been impossible for Britain alone (or America alone) to defeat all of the Axis powers of World War II. There were so many countries on the Allies side that helped defeat Hitler. Even people in Germany helped. Here is a list of all the countries that participated in World War II and I think that credit should be given to every single one of them.
