There were legit reasons for them to not sign a peace with Hitler. The thing is if Germany consolidated control over Western Europe, it would gain access to all the industrial and intellectual capital of that huge region. It would be unstoppable 20 years down the line and Britain being a small island would be incapable of stopping it in the future.

Hell, Germany could've defeated Britain in 1940-41 if it had the right industrial and strategic policy.

I don't want to hear it. It's pretty clear UK made the wrong choice. Read Churchill Hitler and Unnecessary War.

Sure. It made the wrong choice. I'm just saying that there was some rationale behind it.

And now all of Europe will die.
