The Council of Chalcedon, from my understanding, was where the Eastern churches split from the Western church over the nature of Christ. I was wondering, what if the monophysites or nestorians won, and how would that make Hitler win WW2

So, it would basically be a reverse, with the miaphysite's/dyophisites being in power, and the monophysite's being less important in the grand scheme of things.
Nestorians win -> united Byzantium -> Arab failure at Yarmouk -> Christian North Africa -> Less Mediterranean piracy -> Stronger Lombard kingdom -> Charlemagne can't invade it -> No HRE -> Frankish Empire splits in two instead of three on Charley's death, *Germany and *France -> *Germany is bigger than OTL -> When Hitler invades Poland on September 1st, 1939 Germany is larger and stronger
I've got a nice butterfly shredder out back
This is ridiculous
Poland would be stronger as they'd have a Black Sea port so as to better send pilgrims to the Holy Lands and, happily, receive reinforcement from their allies in the Levant.
Ah, but Germany would have planned for this and conquered all of Scandinavia centuries before hand, precisely in preparation for World War II!
Ah, but what did the continent-spanning colossus of Vinland have to say about the ridiculously circuitous plans of the Nazis?
There might be a world war (in fact I think human nature makes it a 75% chance post industrialization) but... with your POD whose Hitler?
