Now I know it's been mentioned before,of course it has. But what hasn't been talked about before is when the outcomes were envisioned,like at the start..as well as the end. Added to that,we all know what could have happened after World War 2..the Axis Powers win..game over. But there is the reasons for the nations,why they do it. That's the point..
I think World War 1 had more possible outcomes than WW2,mostly the "stalemate" idea. That Germany could have kept most of it's land (in Europe) and possibly give it's colonies to another power..most likely Britain. Also,the classic idea that the USA could have been on the side of the Central Powers. I mean,was there not support for Germany when the war started?..and how the British made propaganda films to be shown in the USA at the time to stir public views on the conflict? What about Germany trying to goad Mexico into invading the USA as well?
As for World War 2,I remember one reason for Japan taking control of much of Asia..was to try and push out the "European control" factors of the region and have Asians..control Asia again. As well as later on a vision of a Japanese Empire that controlled most of Southeast Asia and the Pacific. As well as the classic notion of the Germans taking out Russia quickly,and using the vast resources within Russia to take over Europe. Or the failed plan for a German-Japanese pincer notion to attack Russia from the West and East. What about Italy? What was the notion if that nation had stayed in the conflict longer as well?
