  • The Gulf Monarchies would have sold them oil in the same way they have been doing to the US as hegemon.

    And the USA has significantly intervened in Middle East politics.

    It is likely that Nazi Germany would intervene in the Middle East to secure its oil; the various nation-states were still forming and borders were somewhat volatile. Germany would likely intervene to ensure that the oil flows.

    Also, after a while, the German state would need another infusion of money and cheap Arab oil would be a perfect resource to bring under control of the Nazi state.


  • American culture was a major export during the Great Depression, so it is likely that American culture would continue to be an export unless the USA ceased to exist.

    I would just expect Nazi Germany to censor and control some of America’s cultural exports. Hitler liked Disney movies, for instance. However, jazz was banned.


  • Not OP, but Germany was likely going to experience a deep recession after the war. However, it is likely that the Nazis would push the cost of the economy shrinking to its enslaved peoples. There would likely be French deindustrialization, a Polish genocide, and building of cruel colonial networks around Germany. The Nazi Party could probably survive Hitler; I suspect the political functioning would be similar to China’s Politboro but with a more independent military.

    Italy could possibly see the fascist government fall. Mussolini wasn’t in control of Italy the same way that Hitler was of Germany. I could see a political crisis occur in Italy where the Italian government falls apart, Germany stabilizes Italian possessions, then Germany keeps the Italian possessions after the new government doesn’t adequately swear fealty to Germany.
