What if?
Working on an essay for my History class, I started drifting off the subject to other 'what if's?' The assignment's topic was "What would have changed if the first explorers landed on the America's west coast?" This is only talking about the near future after the settling. Think until the pilgrims came over on the Mayflower. It isin't a "Hitler would have never been born" kind of thing. But that got me thinking. What if?

What if Hitler wasn't born? Or what if he died on the front lines of WWI? Having trouble moving away from those artillery shells you used to be so good at avoiding? Well, think of it. Germany, and its people, were still pissed off at the treaty that ended the war. If Hitler wouldn't have come up, maybe WWI would still be thought of as the Great War. Or maybe someone would have come along later when Germany got the atom bomb. Talk about bad. They would go to war, and instead of using their 'big bertha' artillery which had to be moved on a train, they would just bomb Paris with the, to quote Freedom Force, 'power or the atom'.

Now think to yourself, in a way, Hitler did a good thing for the U.S. Don't get me wrong, genocide is a terrible thing. I wish that hadn't have happened. But without the war, the U.S. would have never gotten out of our depression. We would have never gotten the atom bomb. Germany would have taken Europe and then come for us.

Well, just a thought.
