Europan Empire (no barbarossa)

As 1941 began, so did a series of extremely poor decisions by Adolf Hitler(OTL). However, if German high command could've convinced Adolf Hitler to abide by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and forego a direct invasion of the soviet union, the third Reich's lifespan could have nearly doubled. Russia focused on controlling their borders with east Asia and modernizing the Red Army.

As the Nazi conquest of western Europe drew to a close, Germany successfully recruited thousands of French and Belgians to join an occupying force for the British isles, as British morale had nearly broken and Hitler's final plan for domination in the west was well underway and nearing a favorable conclusion. The United states of America, seeing the dire situation the British were in and becoming ever increasingly isolationist, ended the lend-lease act in January of 1942 to focus their effort on producing materiel to fight the Japanese, who had just decimated American Naval power at Pearl Harbor. The US declared war only on Japan and not the Nazis, nor did Hitler declare war on America. Charles Lindbergh's campaign for President largely turned the American populace against war with Germany even though he lost the election to Franklin D. Roosevelt. Britain stands alone.

The British Air war ended suddenly in 1943 with the near total decimation of the RAF's warplanes. The Luftwaffe had fielded several jet-bomber prototypes and in October '43 and used their superior speed to destroy a disproportionate amount of British Aircraft. This also deeply demoralized the British military and several attempts to cover the extent of the damage from the public were made but to no avail, shortly thereafter, the Luftwaffe dropped leaflets bearing images of bombed out sector stations and airfields littered with destroyed planes. No counter attack could be mounted and negotiations for capitulation started the same week. Resistance behind the lines in France and Belgium was quickly exposed and quashed after a team of SS commandos parachuted in and raided the British intelligence Bureau's headquarters as a prelude to the occupation of London.
