The British resist, but a fascist uprising in their rear dooms their defense to failure. They have to keep withdrawing, or risk being encircled. soon, the Germans seize Baghdad, and drive onto the south. The British fall back into Palestine, and the Sinai, where the Germans are brought to a halt by terrain and extended supply lines. A newly independent Iraq joins the Axis Powers, and provides oil to the Germans, for a price. The Germans have secured their position in the Middle East, Once their supply lines have been brought up, they can continue the drive into Egypt, and wrap up the British in North Africa. Alternatively, they could seek an alliance with the Shah of Persia, and move into India. There is also the possibility that the British may have seen the light, and will be willing to negotiate an armistice. The Russians sure are looking threatening over the Reich's extended flank ...
