But if Rome had taken ALL of Germany instead of just the western edges and southern part, there might never have been a Hitler, WW2 and commies in Russia.
Neither would there have been the United States. If the Roman empire had defeated the Germanic tribes like the Angles, Saxons and Jutes around the year 0, Great Britain wouldn't have been colonzied by said Germanic tribes 400 years later. The British isles would have remained Celtic and North America would probably today be half French, half Hispanic.
You have to keep in mind that - except for the language - northern Germans (like Lower Saxons and Frisians) and the English are one people. A Londoner and a Hamburger (the city, not the sandwich) share far more genetic heritage than e.g. a Hamburger and a Stuttgarter.
The US had immigrant waves from Ireland (Celtic) and Italy (Romanic), but the bulk of its white population is of Germanic descent (either directly through German ancestors or via the English colonizers).

Mass migrations of people away from violent groups in their homeland caused barbarian incursions into Roman lands eventually causing Rome’s downfall.
Where in the modern world are we seeing a similar phenomenon?
How odd that seems to be the same thing happening out of the Middle East into Europe away from the Jihadists and out of Central American into the USA away from the Drug cartels.
