Hitler Dies

What would happen if Adolf Hitler had died in the trenches of WWI - like some other senior Nazi's like Goering he was a soldier during that war. Would the Nazi party still rise? Would the second world war still occur? How different would the world be?
 
1. Welcome to the forums!

2. This has been discussed before, try using the search function next time.

3. The general consensus is that the Nazi Party would not have become nearly as successful without Hitler. They would still gain importance, but the Weimar Republic would be replaced by an authoritarian-right government under someone such as Franz von Papen.

Japan would probably still end up in a war with the US, and lose. I think that Europe would not be very stable (remember Mussolini) but full-scale war would not break out.
