AXIS VICTORY
EFFECT ON AMERICA
"There is hardly any limit to the consequences to the United States of a completely victory of Gcrmany and Japan over the rest of the world.
"Those two countries would by this victory fall heirs not only to the dependent British Empire, but to the French, Dutch and Belgian Empires also. They would hold practically every strong naval and air base outside the continents of North and South America. They would occupy Gibraltar, Suez, Simonstown, Bombay, Singapore, the Falkland Islands, and other, strategic world positions. j "By this very fact they would j limit the influence of the United States Navy almost entirely to home waters, since, against strong offensive and defensive air protection at these bases, conquest by a fleet based on distant ports would be virtually impossible. Thus the power of the United States Navy far from its own shores, at any rate beyond the shores of South America, might be small.
