What if...
Let me have a question(actually it's 4, but they are interrelated).
What if the World Wars did'nt occur? What if Archduke Francis Ferdinand hasn't been assassinated? What if Adolf Hitler stays on his course of being a darn artist? What will happen to us? |
What if the World Wars didn't occur?
The world would be hanging on a thread waiting for awar to be set off still... What if Archduke Francis Ferdinand hasn't been assassinated? He would have lived a full life. What if Adolf Hitler stays on his course of being a darn artist? He would have died from starvation? What will happen to us? Eventually a bigger war will break out. Well that's what I think anyway :S |
Well, for one we would not have nukes. We also probably never would have gone to space it wasn't for the rocket technology created in WWII. These things probably would have happened otherwise, but there's no way we'll know, will we?
|
Hm...this is always fun.
The second questions was just the spark; the war started 'cause of all of the tangled alliances. Some other "small" conflict would have gotten the other countries involved elsewhere. It was probably unavoidable. Hitler? Without WW1, hm...it'd be interesting (he'd definitely be a no-name). The Germans wouldn't have anything to be upset about, but I don't know how the Depression would have impacted it either way. Ah, now I got my light bulb on! We'd all be gone. Without WWII, the Baby Boomer generation, our granparents' generation, wouldn't be as large as it is. Without our grandparents, well...you get the idea. Quote:

What if the World Wars didn't occur?
A number of inventions would've come decades later (this includes nukes, America was already developing them). There'd be no cold war either, and swastikas would still be worn by people as a symbol of luck. Can't answer your Ferdinand question. What if Adolf Hitler stays on his course of being a darn artist? Depends whether he was conscripted as a soldier in WWI or joined voluntraily. If the latter is true and assuming he chose not to join, no vengeful regime. What will happen to us? Not much. |

And if Hitler was an artist instead of... you know... then there would be a lot more kids named Adolf in Germany. |
What if the World Wars didn't occur?
I will be happy considering I'm learning this Crap in school What if Archduke Francis Ferdinand hasn't been assassinated? Same as above What if Adolf Hitler stays on his course of being a darn artist? same as above? What will happen to us? I wont be learning this =D :t354:TG |

Though "What if..." moments that pertain to altering the time stream are never easy to answer as there are countless possibilities for what could have happened. I did have a quick scan on a book displaying "What if..." scenarios for WWII, even quite a few that led to Germany not falling. It was quite an interesting read... |

What if the World Wars didn't occur? Neither of them? The world would have to be some super happy peaceful funland where everything was solved by talking, as denoted by my next answer. What if Archduke Francis Ferdinand hasn't been assassinated? Nothing would have changed. There was way too much leading up to WWI that would have caused it anyways. Secret alliances, arms races between Britain and Germany, Russia trying to get a warm water port / "liberating" their fellow slavs. These are things that would have lead to this war. They couldn't talk things out, since everyone clung onto their own ideas too heavily. So, unless these problems and more somehow never came to be, the war is unavoidable. What if Adolf Hitler stays on his course of being a darn artist? I think he probably would have ended up in the military during WWI either way. I can't remember if Germany was forcing citizens to enlist or not, but the guy probably would have gotten hungry and broke really fast. What will happen to us? Hopefully we can learn from the past and not make the same mistakes, but with the world as it is that seems like a fleeting dream... Unless you were referring to if the wars never occurred, in which case I agree with the sentiment that the chances of us being born would lessen. Some couples may have met during the war, the baby boomer generation, etc. |

If none of this had happened at the moment of time in which it was supposed to happen, it'll happen anyways, but at a much later time.
1- A world war cannot be avoided, no matter how much the world denies it. With the technological advancement durin the 1900's, it'll lead up to one sooner or later. 2- I'm just going to take a whack at this and say that the Hungary-Austria empire would stick to as it is. With that being said, the shape of the countries in Europe won't be the same as today. Ottoman Empire was crumbling, so… 3- If he was to become an artist, well, we would never know if he was good, won't we? Either he'll starve because he sucks, or he'll live a quiet life, unknown to the world. 4- Hmm… it's too hard to explain. |
I wouldn't be born. What if questions are useless, as they don't mean anything. Not like someone is going to go back in time... hopefully.
Seriously, a ton of us wouldn't be alive. It's human nature that, given the choice, someone would rather have had the Holocaust occur and be alive today because of it than have the Holocaust not occur and not be alive. EDIT: In response to Yamika...whatever: You do realize that the scientist who was the leading scientist on the Manhattan Project would still have been interested in nuclear devices... we would still have had nukes. |
