  1. While the Japanese manage to take Ceylon, Hong Kong, , Malaya, Singapore rapidly and threaten India and the British suffers naval defeats in the Indian ocean and SOuth China sea. The Japanese offensive runs out of steam along with stiff British and Russian resistance. KMT CHinese hold for a defensive . British and Russian counteroffensives maul the Japanese. and drive them back , stalemate in Burma and Soviet mongolia. Japanse defeats in the Indian Ocean prevents landings in southern India.

  2. my take on this alternate WW2. start of the war in 1939, USA is neutral , Allies: GB, Russia, France, ITaly, Republic of China vs. Central powers: Germany, Japan, Austro Hungary , Ottoman Empire. Great Britain has a strong rivalry pre war with Germany and Japan, with GB wanting to limit German power in Europe and Japanese power in Asia. GB, France and Russia aids Republic of China in its war with Japan starting 1937. USA is strongly isolationist and its pres. LIndburgh is Pro Germany in general but its policy is Neutral. Japan decides to strike both the Russians and British but ignores the pH and other USA territories. No effect on USA public sentiment and policy. Indochina in this timeline is controlled by the Japanese having conquered it in WW1 from the French. The Japanese attack into Burma and Mongolia along with minor offensives to distract the KMT Chinese in order to cut the supply lines to the KMT CHinese and go into Malaya with the aim of capturing Singapore. British navy is strentched thin fighting major sea battles in the Atlantic vs. the Germans and the Japanese in the south China sea and Indian ocean. Japanese invade Ceylon. as a possible stepping stone to support an invasion into India. no Japanese or German attacks on USA territory and assets. Allies the same. USA while the gov. has German sympathies is selling to all sides.
