I like that stuff.
I'm really into WWII in Europe and how a couple of different decisions both Allied and German could have swung the war in Germany's' favor.
Well at least until the U.S. developed the atom bomb.
And even then had the Germans had firm control of Europe would the U.S. have used the bomb there?
We will never know.
I could ponder the "what if" scenarios all day long. WWII is full of them.
What if one of the assassination attempts on Hitler's life was successful?
What if the D-Day invasion never happened or was beaten back into the sea?
What if Germany accomplished air superiority over Britain?
What if the Germans steamed forward and captured Moscow in the early months instead of delaying to encircle Kiev?
What if the recon reports of German tanks sitting idle outside the Ardennes was taken seriously by French command?
The scenarios are nearly endless.
One I wonder about a lot if the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. What if he'd left Serbia after the 1st failed attempt rather than sticking around for the 2nd and successful attempt? What if the driver hadn't taken a wrong turn?
Would WWI had happened in the way we know it?
Would the Soviets have ever risen to power?
Would WWII have ever happened?
Would the US have ever risen to be a super power?
There's a Youtube channel called Alternate History that takes a stab at all of these scenarios with some rather well thought out theories. The one about "What if the South won the Civil War?" is a particularly interesting one.
