Suppose Conservatives had not been in office in Britain when the depression struck. Might a Labour/ Liberal administration have lost heavily in an election between 1930 and 1933. Might a conservative dominated administration have led Britain in the 1930s. Some Conservatives, even after war started, thought that 'appeasing' Hitler was a wise policy.
Without Lloyd George's government, so committed to small nations, would the Nazis have had a chance of taking the Sudeten land, and perhaps other parts of Czechoslovakia without a fight
Some feel that although Germany was again defeated this was an unnecessary war caused by an old man wanting to relive past glory
Would Hitler have attempted further encroachments on other states?
Would the Tojo Stalin agreement on Oil, Natural resources and the division of China to spheres of influence have still happened?
Would we still have a Cold war against with the Soviet/ Japanese alliance?

On the other hand are the defenders of the war correct, that this war was needed. The deal with Poland, giving them Danzig and East Prussia may have been essential for victory.

Some believe that the eventual deal, whereby the Hapsburgs reign over Austro Germany is the best that could had been achieved and in recent years the Emperors appear to be truly Constitutional Monarchs.
