>Stalin attacks europe 2 months later
>attrition war starts aka meatgrinder for 1-2 years
>japan invades indochina
>america starts oil embargo on japan
>japan attacks pearl harbor
>usa fights back
>germany is forced by the tripartite alliance to help japan
>america will now attack germany and opens a second front
