Maybe if HItler wasn't stupid and incompetent, instead of trying to invade the UK which clearly has a special historical relationship with the US, and instead consolidated power towards the east and Africa. Heck maybe if they had signed some deals over keeping their hands out of UK colonies in Africa and India, it would all be different?
Someone else must have written a lot about these fictional scenarios before I'm sure.
Hitler desperately wanted to be friends with the UK pre-war and leaned heavily on von Ribbentrop to get an alliance, which Ribbentrop claimed would be easy for him with his (fake) peerage.
Instead von Ribbentrop was so boorish he nearly single-handedly alienated anyone in the British power elite who may have been sympathetic to a formal pact with the Nazis.
