Description
This is my interpretation of how the Axis won WW2 in the timeline of The man in the high castle on what is mentioned. It is not the most accurate way the war could have gone but I had to fill in the missing info with the most likely results still in Axis favor.On February 15, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt is assassinated by Giuseppe Zangara. Afterward, the United States is subsequently led by John Garner (FDR's vice president) and then by Republican John Bricker. These presidents led to the destabilization of the country and both failed to enact the New Deal to pull the country from the Great Depression. They continued to maintain an isolationist philosophy during the war and, as a result, they were unable to support the United Kingdom and the Soviet Union and they are unable to protect The World from the rise of the Axis threat of the Greater Nazi Reich and the Japanese Empire.
In early January 1935, the Territory of the Saarland Basin was legally reunited with Germany via plebiscite and Hitler repudiated the Treaty of Versailles. In March 1936, the Rhineland is remilitarized against the Treaty of Versailles, but the Allies do nothing to prevent it, encountering little opposition due to appeasement. In October 1936, Germany and Italy formed the Rome-Berlin Axis. A month later, Germany and Japan signed the Anti-Comintern Pact, which Italy joined the following year. In March 1938, Germany annexes Austria, again the Allies do not protest this illegal expansion. In September 1938, Encouraged, Adolf Hitler began pressing German claims on the Sudetenland, an area of Czechoslovakia with a predominantly ethnic German population. After Adolf Hitler threatens war over the Czech Sudetenland, Britain and France agreed to appease him in exchange for an end to territorial expansion. Hungary also annexes border regions from Czechoslovakia. In March 1939, the remainder of Czechoslovakia is occupied by Germany. Britain and France promised war if expansion continues. The country is divided into a Czech protectorate and a Slovak puppet state. Hungary invades and annexes Carpathian Ruthenia.
On September 1, 1939, Germany invaded Poland after having staged several false flag border incidents as a pretext to initiate the attack. The United Kingdom responded with an ultimatum to Germany to cease military operations, and on September 3, after the ultimatum was ignored, France and Britain, along with their empires, declared war on Germany. As part of this, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and Canada also joined the war. On September 27, 1939, the Warsaw garrison surrendered to the Germans, and the last large operational unit of the Polish Army surrendered on October 6. Poland is occupied and divided between Germany and the Soviet Union following the Molotov Ribbentrop Pact. Poland is reduced to a German protectorate known as the "General Government." A significant part of Polish military personnel evacuated to Romania and the Baltic countries; many of them would fight against the Axis in other theatres of the war.
In November 1939, the USSR invades Finland hoping to take the entire country. However, Finnish resistance is unexpectedly strong, and the Soviets only receive parts of the country. Despite overwhelming numerical superiority, Soviet military success was modest, and the Finno-Soviet war ended in March 1940 with minimal Finnish concessions. In April 1940, after the relative calm of the "Phoney War," Germany invades Denmark and Norway to seize valuable ports and iron ore imports from Sweden. Denmark capitulated after a few hours, and Norway was conquered within two months despite Allied support. British discontent over the Norwegian campaign led to the appointment of Winston Churchill as Prime Minister on May 10, 1940. In July 1940, in just over a month, France and the Low Countries are overrun and are occupied by the Nazis. Southern France has turned the Vichy puppet state. Italy joins the Axis powers. Despite this, Britain remains in the war, following Churchill's plea to "never surrender." However, without support from the United States, the Royal Air Force is decimated, along with several major cities. Thankfully Operation Sea Lion is postponed by Hitler due to the inferiority of the German navy. At the end of July 1940, Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill is assassinated.
By late March 1941, Bulgaria and Yugoslavia signed the Tripartite Pact; however, the Yugoslav government was overthrown two days later by pro-British nationalists. commencing on April 6, 1941. In April 1941, the USSR annexes the Baltic States and Moldova from Romania. This causes Romania, along with Hungary and Bulgaria to join the Axis. Italy invades Greece via occupied Albania but suffers heavy defeats. In May 1941, after Hitler gives into Mussolini's pleas for assistance in Greece, he demands Yugoslavia join the Axis or be invaded. The country is then invaded from all sides. Bulgaria, Italy, Hungary, and Germany each take some land, while the rest is divided into a Serbian occupation zone and a Croatian puppet state. Although the Axis victory was swift, bitter and large-scale partisan warfare subsequently broke out against the Axis occupation of Yugoslavia, which continued until the end of the war. Afterwards, Germany, Italy and Bulgaria invade Greece
In early June 1941, The UK invades Iraq after it joins the Axis. After its defeat, Vichy Syria and Lebanon are occupied by the British. The oil fields of the Middle East are now under Allied control. On June 22, 1941, Germany, supported by Italy and Romania, invaded the Soviet Union in Operation Barbarossa, with Germany accusing the Soviets of plotting against them. Germany invades the Soviet Union to achieve Lebensraum, Finland also joins the Axis to regain lost territory. Romania invades for the same reason as well. However, in December 1941, the invasion is halted in the winter, due to the snow and determined Soviet forces. The primary targets of this surprise offensive were the Baltic region, Moscow and Ukraine, with the ultimate goal of ending the 1941 campaign near the Arkhangelsk-Astrakhan Line, from the Caspian to the White Seas.
On September 19, 1931, before Roosevelt's assassination, the events of the Pacific are the same. Japan is industrialized and continues to slowly expand its empire. On February 27, 1932, Japan invades Chinese Manchuria for resources and establishes the puppet state of Manchukuo. China appealed to the League of Nations to stop the Japanese invasion of Manchuria. Japan withdrew from the League of Nations after being condemned for its incursion into Manchuria. The two nations then fought several battles, in Shanghai, Rehe, and Hebei, until the Tanggu Truce was signed in May 1933. Thereafter, Chinese volunteer forces continued the resistance to Japanese aggression in Manchuria, Chahar, and Suiyuan. In July 1937, Japan invades China for resources and to bring East Asia into the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere (GEACPS).

On September 22, 1940, Japan takes Indochina from the Vichy French for resources and to expand power. On December 7, 1941 (December 8th in Asian time zones), Japan attacked British and American holdings with near-simultaneous offensives against Southeast Asia and the Central Pacific. These included an attack on the American fleets at Pearl Harbor and the Philippines, landings in Thailand and Malaya, and the Battle of Hong Kong. In April 1942, after Japan obliterated the entire US Pacific Fleet (including carriers and oil fields), The empire conquers everything from Burma to New Guinea. Thailand joins the Axis to regain lost territory. In June 1942, with no Pacific fleet, the US is unable to stop Japanese expansion to the south. With no Battle of the Coral Sea, the Japanese overrun Vanuatu and New Caledonia. They also take Midway and the Aleutian Islands. In August 1942, Japan continues to take over the South Pacific to cut off British trade to the Americas. They also use Midway as a launching point to invade Hawaii. In November 1942, while Japan is distracted taking New Zealand, the US takes back Hawaii. In December 1942, despite what many Americans thought was the turning point in the war, Hawaii quickly fell back into Japanese hands along with the rest of New Zealand, effectively cutting off Australia from American support.
On 1942, in the spring and summer, the Germans renew their offensive against the Soviet Union. They drive deep into the Caucasus towards Stalingrad. In North Africa, Rommel's Afrika Korps meet the British at El Alamein.
