An incident would not have been needed-Pearl Harbour still would have happened, just without Hitler declaring war on the US. The Battle Of The Atlantic would still have been won by the Allies, it just would have taken longer without the US fully committing to it. US participation would still have increased though, and if Germany did not declare war (which they should not, to make this scenario more likely), the US would have declared war on Germany in 1943. It might have been a different situation with a truce though.
War in Libya
-
Watching the updates on the war in Libya and hearing the names of cities like Benghazi, TOBRUK and Tripoli got me thinking of the 8th Army and the Africa Korp.
Have any of you had the same thoughts?
Looks like Gadhafi’s forces are about to end the rebellion.
-
The rebels should have stacked all their infantry in one territory.
-
And they should save their IPC’s so they can buy some trannies and BB’s if they get surrounded

On a more serious topic
Yes the war did make me remember the North African campaign.

One difference between then and now is the fact that, during WWII, the name “Libya” was still fairly new. Eastern Libya previously tended to be referred to as Cyrenaica, and western Libya as Tripolitania. Even during WWII itself, the older terms sometimes still got used, as in General Alexander’s letter of September 1943 to Churchill: “Sir, The Orders you gave me on August 15, 1942, have been fulfilled. His Majesty’s enemies, together with their impedimenta, have been completely eliminated from Egypt, Cyrenaica, Libya and Tripolitania. I now await your further instructions.”

Doesn’t look like NATO is going to allow the rebels to fall. Hope France and Brittian take the reins on this operation soon before the U.S. gets blamed for something.
