During World War II, what opportunities did the Axis powers give up to turn the war around?

Italy invades Greece and Japan infiltrates Pearl Harbor.

Italy invaded Greece, and in 1940, Mussolini wanted to prove to the world that Italy was a true member of the Axis powers. For this, Mussolini unilaterally decided to invade Greece. He said to his brother-in-law

Hitler always gave me a fait accompli, and this time I wanted revenge, and he would find out from the newspapers the news of my occupation of Greece. The plan began on October 28, 1940, but it did not go well, and the stubborn counterattack of the Greeks forced 530,000 Italian troops to retreat. In March 1941, Italy went on the offensive again, trying to regain the initiative, and the German allies were forced to support Italy.

Despite stubborn resistance from the alliance of Greece and Great Britain, Athens fell on April 27, 1941. Although the alliance of Italy and Germany occupied Greece, it had already had an impact. The Germans had to clean up the mess, forcing Germany to postpone its five-week plan to attack the Soviet Barbarossa.

After the war, many historians believe that this was one of the important reasons why Germany was dragged into the winter of the Soviet battlefield.

Japan infiltrated Pearl Harbor, and at the end of 1941, the Japanese Empire was in a position that was difficult to maintain. Its policy of rapid expansion, as well as its constant invasions of the South Pacific and Southeast Asia, had led Britain and the Netherlands to impose economic sanctions and a naval blockade on Japan, while the Americans halted oil exports to Japan. More importantly, the Americans are providing active military assistance to China.

At this stage, Japan has two options, either to withdraw from the occupied territories, including China, or to rob the European colonies, which are rich in resources in Southeast Asia。In order to obtain much-needed rubber and oil, the Japanese decided to infiltrate Pearl Harbor, destroy the main American fleet, and demoralize the American army in order to control the right of navigation at sea. On December 7, 1941, Japan successfully attacked Pearl Harbor, but did not really defeat the main American fleet.

Importantly, this did bring the United States, a powerful country that had been intended to stay away, into the war, and the subsequent Battle of Midway and the two atomic bombs dropped in 1945 completely destroyed the Japanese Empire.

Needless to say, Dunkirk, but even if the British Expeditionary Force is completely annihilated, the Sea Lion plan is estimated to be unsuccessful, but at least the Eagle Day plan, with all its efforts to bomb the airfield and eliminate the pilots, is no problem for the Air Force to suppress the British. It makes sense that the mustache political forced landing in Britain. There is also the Battle of Moscow, which dragged to Stalingrad is no longer a play.

The first was to end the war with the Allies once and for all by failing to take Britain and ending the war with the Allies. Second, if Britain is taken and then the Soviet Union is attacked, the Soviet Union must not be in a hurry. Third, the attack on the Soviet Union should be aimed at industrial resources as much as possible.

If there was no Dunkirk retreat, how could Britain and France later land in Normandy, open up a second battlefield, and fight Nazi Germany together with the Soviet Red Army.

Now everyone agrees that there is only one chance to turn the tables, that is, in 1941, Germany missed the concentration of naval and air forces to carry out a Jutland-style naval Armageddon against Britain, so as to control the sea and destroy Britain by landing instead of turning its head to attack the Soviet Union.

Don't underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Germanic nation, Germany at that time was absolutely capable of completing an all-out blow to Britain. But Hitler didn't do this, he just "rubbed" back and forth. Missed out.

If he fought hard at that time, took the British mainland, and could stabilize the United States for the first time, it would be easier to say later.

On the one hand, once the British Isles fall, the Mediterranean theater and the Middle East and North Africa theaters will also be self-defeating. At that time, the German and Italian armies could not only control Europe, North Africa, but also the Near East. You can also take advantage of the situation to take the Azores and other islands in the Atlantic.

In this way, the United States loses a springboard for landing in Europe and North Africa. No matter how strong the national strength is, it is impossible for the US military to start an all-out war across the Atlantic with the Axis powers without a foothold. On the other hand, Britain had fallen, Germany had no worries, and the Soviet Union's previous plans had to be overturned.

Re-planning, and re-repurposing, takes time to do this.

But history will not be changed, if we look at it from God's point of view, the Germans are looking for countries that are weaker than themselves to form alliances, even if they find a victory in World War II similar to their own, they can succeed, and looking for a pig-like Mussolini can only add chaos to themselves and drag them back. It was too far away from Japan to know what they called the "Axis powers".

In addition, there are contradictions between Hitler and the Japanese emperor from time to time, after the "918" incident, Germany selflessly supported China in army training and equipment, which made Japan very unhappy, Germany believed that Japan and China were not belligerents, and it was not wrong to aid the "third country" by itself, until 1937, after the Lugou Bridge Incident, Japan fully invaded China, and Germany severed ties with China under Japanese pressure. From the point of view of these contradictions themselves, the Axis powers were all calculating and intriguing with each other for their own interests, and even if there were some military victories, even if they completely annihilated the British and French forces in Dunkirk and occupied the LinkedIn Islands, even if they captured Moscow, they were doomed to defeat, but the victory against fascism would be prolonged for several years.

North Africa has not completely fought Britain, the devil's progress is too slow, and he is still in the South Asian rainforest, so there is no hope of meeting the Middle East, Germany is out of gas, what will he do to fight Britain if he doesn't fight the Soviet Union?

Because they just want to get money, and it seems to them that if they get money, they get everything, and with money they can buy anything.

Because the countries of World War II had to fight against the whole world, and the logistical resources could not keep up, they did not grasp it.

It was because they did not have good decision-makers, and the wrong decisions led to the final defeat of the Axis powers, so they were doomed to failure.

Your problem is an afterthought, and the Axis powers didn't know that this was an opportunity at that time, so of course they couldn't grasp it, so don't always think about it as an afterthought.

The three of them will go to war again. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, let alone three.

In the world, the heart of the country has changed from rice to Germany, and du is even if it is an area occupied by Germany and Japan, if.

DAOs are not exactly the same.

In the case of transformation, it is basically still in a state of semi-independence. The appetite is so big, I can't eat too much, and I eat too much and have indigestion.

Of course, I'm not optimistic about Italian sissies. Unless Germany knocks down the land around the Mediterranean and gives it to him, the sissy will basically not be able to control these places.

Internal revolutions in the Axis powers or their occupied territories eventually overthrew the fascist regimes and restored a free and democratic order to the world.

<> "The Axis powers, which were the first to surrender in World War II, still have such a weapon of mass destruction.

This M1914 heavy machine gun is an Italian officer Reveri in 1908 designed and produced a heavy machine gun, this heavy machine gun body length of 1139 mm, of which the length of the barrel is 554 mm, the total weight of the gun body is 17 kg, the weight of its tripod is kg, the bullet used is M1895 mm bullet, the muzzle velocity is 634 meters per second, the effective range can reach 800 meters, and the rate of fire can reach 500 rounds per minute.

This M1914 heavy machine gun is a pure semi-free bolt type, using a swinging wedge iron that supports the bolt locking block on the barrel, and is fed by a mousetrap magazine with a capacity of 50 rounds, with a total of 10 compartments in the magazine, each compartment is equipped with 5 rounds, and there is a small oil pump in the receiver to lubricate the cartridge case, and the sighting device uses a mechanical sight, and the sight is composed of a wheat crosshair and a gauge plate.

This M1914 heavy machine gun in World War II, is the most famous heavy machine gun in Italy, but also the best heavy machine gun, in the battlefield of the Second World War, for Italy to make great contributions, let's take a look at what kind of combat performance this heavy machine gun has.

First of all, this M1914 heavy machine gun is Italy's main firepower on the battlefield of World War II, its main task is to bear the fierce fire impact, you can imagine how powerful the firepower of this heavy machine gun is, at the same time, the effective range of this heavy machine gun up to 800 meters is also very terrifying, at that time, few firearms can have such a long effective range.

Hitting far and doing high damage is the capital of this M1914 heavy machine gun that can run rampant on the battlefield of World War II, but it also has a small flaw, that is, when this heavy machine gun is shooting, the exposed pull handle makes a rapid reciprocating motion above the receiver, so that the slow ridge brings great danger to the soldiers who use this heavy machine gun.

Despite such a small flaw, the M1914 heavy machine gun was excellent overall, and although Italy was the first Axis power to surrender in World War II, it still made a very strong impression.

<> "Is it possible for the Axis powers to win World War II."

Western Europe was directly swept by the defeated German countries, and the British retreated to the British Island. Hitler, seeing that there was nothing he could do for a while, turned his head to the trouble of the Soviet Union. Not to be outdone, Italy has nothing to do in Europe, so it runs to Africa.

As a result, if it weren't for the German troops, the Italians would have been wiped out. The Japanese have no bottom line. Before that, he was deeply involved in the Eastern theater.

He also took the time to make two engagements with the Soviets.

Seeing that he was no match for the Soviet Union, he went south and found a stronger adversary, the United States. As a result, I couldn't help but hammer the United States. As a result, this time the game was big, and the three brothers of the Axis countries looked at each other, whether it was manpower, material resources, financial resources, or comprehensive national strength, they were not opponents at all.

Not to mention Stalingrad, Leningrad, Kursk, Ardennes, even if you win, you will only survive for a while; Not to mention the advanced **, jets, V1v2, super invincible heavy tanks, these are not things that change the outcome of the war.

If, I mean if. The Germans did not provoke the USSR, and the Japanese did not provoke the United States. It is difficult to say what the final outcome of this war will be. But even then, the power of the Axis powers would only last for a while. First of all, the Japanese were sanctioned by the United States.

If he doesn't kill the United States, he doesn't have the capital to continue the war. On the other hand, although the USSR and Germany had a non-aggression pact, the Soviets were always afraid that Germany would act against him.

It's just that the Germans moved too fast and beyond his imagination. So it was only a matter of time before the Axis powers perished, and there was no possibility of turning over.

The internal reason is that the war resource reserves are insufficient and the reserves are too small, and the external reason is to find two partners who have not achieved enough things and have more than enough failures. The Italian soldiers were so useless that the Japanese had no brains to go to war with the United States. As a result, the war in Europe turned into a world war.

As a result, Germany, which was already short of resources for the war, fell into a further predicament.

Objectively speaking, both Hitler and German officers at all levels are very good military talents. There is no doubt that Germany would have been the victor in World War II had not entered the war by the United States.

For example, as long as Germany fights France and wins, it wants to challenge most of Europe, including the Soviet Union, and it is not difficult for Japan to occupy the Korean Peninsula, but it wants to challenge China and the United States. In the final analysis, they still want to engage in world hegemony, but the power of justice is far from what they can imagine.

Too few resources, better military strength, and wrong military decision-making.

Xiang is subdivided into four categories, I hope it will help you: 1, Germany, Japan (defeated and surrendered), 2, Italy, Hungary, Romania, Finland, Bulgaria (defection in the final war), 3, Italian Social Republic, Croatia, Visy France, Bohemia and Moravia protectorate, Manchuria, puppet Mongolian regime, King De regime, Nanjing Wang puppet regime, North China puppet regime, Japanese-controlled Philippines, Burma (puppet regime).

4. Siam (declared war null and void).
