I'd look up (and will paste) some items about the Roosevelt
administration's attitude towards the war, which required the recall
of US Ambassador Joe Kennedy, who saw the bleak situation of the Brits
and thought it was hopeless. The most the US hoped for was that when
-- they didn't think "if" -- Britain fell, they'd give us (Canada)
their fleet. Churchill told FDR that he would go down fighting, but
could not guarantee that another government in the UK might not make
more favorable terms with the invaders if the Germans came across the
Channel, and the biggest chit to play would have been the Royal Navy.
If anyone is confident in some well-researched alternative history,
perhaps they could recommend it. I think it's such a self-evident
Resolved it'll be hard to write.
