I was talking WWI, not WWII.

If we stayed out of WWI, would never have been a Hitler.

So was I. Germany and Austria-Hungary would have divided up Europe. And gone beyond. Here’s how it goes - empire builders’ horizons are limited by their capabilities. Ambitions expand with those capabilities. Did Alexander set out to conquer the world? No - he set out to conquer Greece. Once Greece was under his belt, his horizons expanded. It’s no different from Sam Walton building his first store, moving on to the next, and the next, and so on.
