So on Reich-5 Britain fell in the same year as France- 1940. An isolated America did not provide any lend-lease or other support, which deprived the island nation of I believe 70% of materials and food. Which is not an insignificant handicap, don’t get me wrong. Still, 1940 is very early in the war, and implies Britain lost air supremacy and perhaps suffered a full blown Operation Sealion. But the general consensus is that Sealion was doomed to fail due to sheer logistics. So factoring in the resource crunch (meaning the longer the Battle for Britain lasts the harder it will be to fuel British planes and keep their population fed) what else goes wrong that would lose the war before 1941?
