If Germany had won WWI, how might history have been rewritten?
Hitler would probably have remained a struggling artist, and Mussolini might have stuck with socialist. Their huge egos would more than likely have stayed huge, but they might have had little to no audience. A New York Press article, written on April 4, 2002, titled If Germany had won WWI, makes these observations:
- Six million jews would not have disappeared.
- The dynasties would have survived, which means there would have been no communism with its 20 to 100 million victims.
- The ottoman Empire would have lumbered along.
- Iraq would not have been created.
- Israel would not exist, no Lebanon or Jordon.
- Russia would have joined the modern world, eventually.
- There never would have been a Vietnam war.
- The Kaiser was a civilized man, as were the Germans, and had the Allies humored him and allowed Germany to pursue her destiny, we would today be living in a far, far better place.
Of course, these are all speculations. No one really knows what would have happened had Germany won WWI. The world can be a scary place.
If Saddam Hussein hadn't come to power, someone else would have. Iraq was in a state of turbulence with leadership and control efforts before Hussein was named president and would have likely continued without him. There were many people tortured and killed because of Saddam Hussein's regime. People lived in fear of the evil dictator and his sons.
