As the next patch is out and we're OT on Churchill, etc., if Britain had appeased Germany we would porobably be speaking Russian now.
If Germany had still invaded Norway.e.g.for resources then our hand would have been forced by an iunvasion on 'our' side of Europe and we woulkd proibably have gone to war anyway but if Germany had not......
With no need to invade western Europe Hitler could have concentrated all his forces on defeating Russia - his primary goal - and would quite possibly have captured Moscow and Leningrad. However, Stalin would have done what he did anyway and withdrawn to the Russian interior to re-build. Russia would almost certainly still have defeated Hitler and then, with no USA involvement in Europe and seeing Western Europe's appetite for appeasement, he would quite likely have kept on coming. By that time his armed forces numbered in the millions and Western Europe would have had nothing to challenge him with - or would have challenged him with the same failuires as 1940 in Belgium, Holland, France, Norway, etc.. By then the Soviet Air Force would have been considerably larger than the RAF and much more experienced, having fought the Luftwaffe, than the Luftwaffe was fighting the RAF in 1940.
