Capture their expeditionary force and they have nothing left that early in the war. Hit them with the one two of capturing that force and then the African campaign and concentrate all your efforts into destroying the RAF and its a pretty easy decision, be invaded by air, or give up your colony's and territories. Which does Britan do? That I don't know. That early in the war it's hard to say what kind of effect that would have had.

I think you may be understanding the British a bit. I know a few people over there...they would never surrender to anyone. They'd arm civilians and fight soldiers hand to hand in the streets if they had to. This is a government that managed to convince a decent portion of its London population to send their kids off to live with complete strangers for a few months to keep them safe from German bombs.

Many forget that the British spent most of the war taking in refugees. They had tons of Jews who escaped continental Europe into England, a bunch of French made it over anticipating a German invasion, and they had practically the entire school children population of the Channel Islands relocate to the country for the entire war. There wasn't a way on planet earth they'd give up...especially knowing that the US and Canada would never force them to fight on their own.
