What if…no Great Depression?
How?
- no 1929 Stock Market Crash?
- smaller Stock Market Crash in 1928, recovery by 1931/32
- eliminate the 1930 Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act
Effects?
- eliminates Hitler and the Nazis, many associated dictatorial regimes?
- Weimar Republic still collapses
- Franco-esque moderate conservative ‘junta’ / socialist Germany?
- more reasonable appeasement of Germany
- no WW2
- a "Pacific War" between Japan and a Sino-American alliance,
- an "Eastern War" between Russia and a German-headed alliance.
- no US Democrat Party, stronger American Socialist Movement
- classical liberalism, combined with creeping social democracy
- less education, greater class consciousness
- more theoretical science, less applied
- US loans to Germany
- no ‘New Deal’, Roosevelt?
- longer survival of colonialism
