Britain would not have fallen.
Plain and simple. You americans don't know what it means to be British.
Hitler could not cross the English Channel even if he wanted to. The British had 10 times the navy the Germans had and had been using it successfully in battle for a hundreds of years.
The RAF was outgunned 3 to 1 but the British pilots fought with their backs to the wall and never waivered. Never has so much been owed by so many to so few. (With a bit of help from the free polish (the most vicious and the highest kill ratio of the war) and the Canadians) The British had also cracked the Enigma Code (and NO, it was not Harvey Kietel and Jon Bon Jovi who did that, it was British mathematician Alan Turing)
The battle of Britain was in 1940. At that time, America was still selling weapons to Hitler. (Read "Trading with the Enemy" about how guys like Ford and Prescott Bush were doing business witht the Nazis.) Hitler had not yet attacked Russia. He was able to concentrate his air power on Britain but FAILED.
Then he decided to attack Russia cause he (very incorrectly) figured if he couldn't beat Britain, maybe the Russians would be easier.
Besides, you didn' t have to cross the English channel with Huricannes and Spitfires buzzing all around your head.
