I’ve thought about what would have happened had the Germans won WW I. I would make the case that ultimately the world would have been better off. No Hitler. Maybe no Bolshevism. German rule of Europe under the Kaiser would have been much more benign than certainly under the Nazis.
Perhaps so. But how would the Kaiser have fared through the world economic crisis of the late ‘20s? And then what? Too many variables there, IMO.
As it is, I’m more concerned with the reality of 2016...arming up a bit more every week :-).
