From a historian's point of view, how would the world be today if Germany won WW1?
How would the world develop, if the Kaiser defeated France and Britain?
I often wonder about this, because if Germany won, there would be no need for a "new strong leader" like Hitler, because then Germany would've been very strong, and there would be no reason to have Hitler at all.
Hitler came to power because Germany lost WW1 and because they lost, Germany had to pay for the cost of the war. This caused a lot of angry germans, and Germany had to give up alot of its military and soverignity of many things. But if Germany had won, there would be no high inflation and no high unemployment rate or "unfairness" for the germans, and thus no reason for being desperate and hire an insane person as the dictator of their country. Hitler only got the power because the people were desperate for changes, and Hitler could promise them that, and they were desperate, so they ignored his insanity.
