20. Germany would have been better off without any allies in WWII
Japan didn't provide any help and just dragged the US into the war with Germany by attacking Pearl Harbor. Without that alliance, the US would have been focused only on the Pacific.

If Italy had stayed neutral like Spain, then the Allies wouldn't have been able to use that route into Europe and without the US would not have been able to replicate a D-Day invasion of France.

Russia would have gotten the full brunt of the German army and gotten it earlier.


Germany would have been much better off without any axis allies.
