This is based on a discussion over on discord with @pattontank12. The premise is that the Axis are able to secure total victory in the old world as in Man in the High Castle. However, while Man in the High Castle had the US falling to the combined might of the Axis powers, this scenario imagines that the Axis invasion reaches America's shores and there is fighting on the east and west coasts, but the invasion is successfully repelled by the US and the Axis Powers are kept out of North America. What would the rest of the 20th century look like and, more specifically, how would the US be impacted?
An invasion of the US would most definitely impact the US's psyche strongly. The military budget would likely be insane, as would the amount of armed people in general. I can also see the US potentially being more "european" in outlook, having seen war on it's shores for the first time since the civil war. It's also probably gonna be in the American psyche forever, even more than OTL WW2 is already. I also think that the Axis Powers would be hit hard by this failure, possibly leading to them falling apart in the 1950s or 1960s.
