Looking at the progress of world history after World War I, the rise of Hitler and all of the horrors that followed, the rise of communism in the Soviet Union and all the horrors that followed. It often makes me wonder if the world, and more specifically Europe, would have been better off if the Central Powers had won World War I. Certainly there would be problems, Austria-Hungary was going to collapse no matter what. Italy was going to leave the war unsatisfied and Mussolini or someone like him was going to happen in Italy. Russia was going to hell in a hand basket with or without communism. However, no Hitler, no Holocaust, no destruction of Europe in a second world war, at least not in any scenario that I can see. You may have a different opinion, I would like to hear your thoughts.
