I thought I knew, turns out I knew just a small part of it.
Its a lot more complicated than I thought it would be... Politics in the UK must be hell.
Here's a 5 minute vid explaining all the differences:

Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if the US had successfully invaded Canada during the revolutionary war.

I thought I knew this stuff. Turns out I only knew about the commonwealth. I though Great Britian, UK England, was all the same thing... I knew there was probably some differences, but I couldn't have told you what they weere.

Imagine if Hitler stopped the war before bringing the Russians into it?
Germany would still be controlling the provinces of Europe

The American forces that entered Quebec were less of an invasion force and more of a recruitment drive. The assumption was that the French speaking population would seize the opportunity to rise up against their British overseers. Turns out, not so much.

Ok fine,
The German army would have occupied Europe for at least 30 years in order to germanize europe and prevent many revolutions. After 30 years, Hitler would most likely be sick or dead. Which brings us to around 1975. From there, My guess is that it would have became more democratic. Like independent provinces paying tax to the federal government of Germany. My guess is that by 1985 the uproars would be too much for the army too handle, I suppose it would have taken that long (40 - 45 years) because the Germans already has tens of thousands of war machines at their disposal, but such a big army would become unsustainable, too expensive to replace when it becomes obsolete. You can also factor that most of the army itself would also want a revolution due to the atrocities of WW2.
International pressures on Germany, the Russians, the Americans, the English, The Canadians, Australia, maybe China, would unite against Germany and maybe Japan again, who knows whats going on their if Hitler wins. Then would have come WW3. 1990 or so.
From there, I can't really predict. Nukes and shit. I think I have speculated on the impossible long enough.
