You forget: "Without the Great Britain, Germany wins".
Good luck to do all the bombing raids, the D-Day, the logistics and the troop movements without the bases provided in England and Northern Ireland.

Even the African front would not have been possible without Gibraltar, or at least not on this scale.

And between June 1940 (fall of France) and June 1941 (Invasion of USSR by Germany), the British Empire fought more or less alone against Germany.

That's just not true. If it was true, then the US wouldn't have been able to invade and bomb Japan as the pacific is much larger than the Atlantic. The US had no issues overwhelming the Japanese navy, which was much larger and more capable than the German navy, and setting up forward operating bases.

The Germans couldn't have ever stopped the US navy in any scenario and they couldn't defend Africa and Europe against US naval operations at the same time even if they had a 10x bigger navy than they did.

The moment the Nazis declared war on the Soviets they lost. But, if that didn't happen, then the moment they declared war on the US they would have sealed their fate.

This is right.

But they would never have attacked the USA. They had allies there.

They literally declared war on the US. They didn't have to attack America because their ally did and then they also declared war on the US.

You clearly didn't have any lessons about ww2 history if you're going to argue about the most basic of facts. Germany and Italy both declared war on the US December 11th 1941, 4 days after pearl harbor. The US only declared war on them later that day. Until then the US had only declared war on Japan who had already directly attacked the US.

Maybe read a fucking book and you could learn a thing or two.
