I do think you are correct about Hitler being elected. So many people want to balme one man, "Hitler" however he had the support of his countrymen. They LOVED him. Sad, but honestly the world has evolved. It is not like it was in the 30's and 40's. We are in an information age, and I don't think eever again in a democratic country people would again go to war in order to "Conquer" which is what Hitler did. he wanted to Rule the world. I do not see any wars between "Western" nations. However didn't England have a little "do" in south America maybe 20 years ago. Some Island, wasn't it? I dont' even remember the name of the country. But was that country a democracy?
LOL It was the Falkland Islands in the '80's, and I do believe that Argentina was still being run by the junta at the time. Their third President, General Galtieri, was running the show. The Falkland's itself was a British colony, right?
We may not wage a war again for purposes of conquest, but there are plenty of other reasons that wars start, as you know.
