still the United States. The United States that help defeat the Kaiser in WWI. The United States that helped extinguish the Nazi Regime and the Japanese Empire. The same United States that sent a man to the moon. That United States
The would have still been a United States even if the South had gained its Independence.
You totally missed the point.
Which was a terrible mistake. We should have stayed out of WWI.
The United States that helped extinguish the Nazi Regime and the Japanese Empire.
Had we stayed out of WWI, there would have been no Nazi regime, and the Japanese Empire would likely have never gotten so bold.
If we had stayed out of WWI, there would have likely been no Communist takeover of the Russian revolution, no Nazi regime, no Atomic bombs, no cold war, no Long March.
In other words, most of the horrible things that happened in the 20th century would not have occurred.
