Or is that just me...I'm glad they lost I just want to know what the technology would be like now The world would be a vastly better place. Lol no more chaos in this world waiting for America to have the balls to fight russia and destroy the world in the process A fully unified nation and peoples, working together to create the largest technological leaps mankind has ever seen no more america trying to be world police, no more BS going on in the middle east, no more russia period..just the glorious fuhrer and the most advanced civilization on the face of the earth.
So... so... so not how it would be. Seriously. You just change one unipolar world for another. So it would be the Germans playing world police. Oh wait... they lack the geography to do such a thing resulting in continued geopolitical multi-polarity diluting world-wide wealth and advancement due to constant bloody (as opposed to 'cold') feuding; technology would not have progressed at such a pace if not for the bipolar soviet vs. american era due. All this combined with the lack of post-WWII human rights initiatives, this makes such a world a much bloodier place. That's taking the "Germany defeats the allies" view.
Issues in the Middle East and Africa would still be issues in such a world - the seeds of conflict date to the colonial period if not before. But I digress...
Realistically, Germany could NEVER "defeat the allies" ... they could only "win the war". There is a difference. Realistically, their winning the war would not have stymied the rise of America as a superpower; despite WWII-era propaganda, Germany was and never will be an existential threat to the United States. If Germany had won WWII, it would have had to be due to the failure of continental Europe+Britain causing the U.S. to withdraw and a ceasefire to be arranged. The U.S. remains powerful and progress continues with Germany playing the motivating "Great Other" as opposed to the Soviet Union. An assumed pre-emption of nuclear demonstration by the U.S. allows Japan to rise in the East. However, nothing changes Mao's Revolution and communist China comes to the fore with Japan as their primary antagonist as opposed to cold relations with Russia. The Korean War never happens. Vietnam never happens. The U.S. entering the 21st century is economically strong but still in an antagonistic state with Europe which is an economic backwater - because the ******* Marshall Plan never happens and it still suffers the demographic issues it faces today. You forget that the U.S. did not have to be rebuilt, but continental Europe did.
African nations fight for independence against mostly German overlords and are more successful and progressive as you end up with increased coalescence along cultural lines rather than externally-negotiated independence along colonial lines...
... anyway, just got free seats to a baseball game so done with this post. But... yeah...  |
