The many includes the USA, or should. Had Britain rolled over or been conquered in 1940, as the other European countries were, the American attack on Germany would have been infinitely more difficult, arguably impossible, at least before the A-bomb came along. If you are interested there is an online novella that covers just such an event. Excellent read actually.

Not familiar with the story you cite. However, if Britain had fallen shortly after France, as it easily could have, things would have been very difficult for the US.
Especially if the Germans had gotten control of both the French and British navies.
I think we would still have won, but the war would have been much longer and bloodier. Quite possibly the American public would have flinched from the task, allowing our enemies to build up their forces for the final inevitable conflict.
North America versus the rest of the world could only end one way.
