Don't know. He was growing in popularity when he got poisoned in 1930...
Certainly, Goering wouldn't have had his chance to rise to power. A combination of the remaining Nazis plus support from more traditional conservative elements let him take over quite handily. A living Hitler wouldn't have allowed that. And no Goering likely means no war with the Soviets over Poland, thus no general War against Bolshevism...
Didn't Hitler too supported some war against Soviets? I think that he spoke something about expansion to East on his book "Mein Kampf".
Yeah, and if Alexander the Great had died the Persians would've overrun Greece and lived happily ever after.True. I should have said: no Soviet war so early. He'd probably have tried to settle scores with France first. Goering, by contrast, was all about the Eastern front. Plus...he was a drug-addled lunatic at times, but he was a lot more sensible than Hitler too. He secured the annexation of Austria, but he didn't even touch the Sudetenland, because he knew that the Western powers would never go for it.
Actually, with a war in the west, I wonder... When the War against Bolshevism grew, Japan got involved in the East, taking Sakhalin and Primorsky Krai. If they hadn't been diverted there, and if Germany had fought Britain, could Japan have gone South, against European colonial territories? I mean, post-war, Britain ended up quitting India, but if the Japanese had fought them, they could have lost Hong Kong and Singapore, among other places. Which would open all manner of butterflies - look what a financial hub British Singapore is today.
Moving back to Europe... could no Hitler lead to the butterflying away of Finland's post-war annexation of the Kola Peninsula?
A German politician in the thirties, he attempted a very unadvisable coup in Bavaria and wrote a book on his philosophy called Mein Kampf.Who?
I think not, Finnish irredentism was going to happen regardless.True. I should have said: no Soviet war so early. He'd probably have tried to settle scores with France first.
