    It was more about resources. The allies were basically the rest of the world between the British, French, and Dutch empires. Japan did more to disrupt that than Germany did, and Germany was eventually knocked out of the Naval war, which left Britain free to import as much as they needed from those combined empires. And the Nazis were running out of fuel, which is why they invaded USSR.

    WWII ended up being a war of attrition just like WWI was, the main difference was that Germany was able to take a lot more territory before their lack of resources caught up with them.
