Had we kept our nose out of the spat between the Kaiser and the Frogs, Hitler would be a lame water color artist in the greater European Union whose progressive leftish political makeup, courtesy of the Kaiser would be indistinguishable from the EU now.

And we wouldn't have lost so many men in the trenches of Belgium, nor twenty five years later falling out of the skies of Germany by the tens of thousands.

I’m not so sure that things would have turned out different had American stayed out of the First World War. Certainly the American casualties would not have happened, but the German offensive using all those divisions from the recently surrendered Russians had already bogged down. There would still have likely been the revolt by the German navy in October and general war weariness would still have resulted in the German leadership giving up the fight. This would still leave the disillusioned Hitler in the political hot bed that was Weimar Munich.

Hard to second guess even for me. We have a great advantage of knowing what the future holds for these folks. I somehow think that most decisions made were best - with the information these folks had at the time.

It is just so hard to be objective - when we have the knowledge of the future.
