You are of course correct. The genetic losses that Europe suffered between 1914 thru 1945, followed by modern birth control and widespread abortion has forever altered European culture. Great Britain, France, Italy, Germany, and Russia are hollow shells of what they were in 1914. For slightly different reasons so is the United States.

Younger people don't remember but prior to 1914, Europe was considerably ahead of the United States in virtually all areas. The two world wars all but destroyed European civilization.

It's quite possible that without those wars, Europe would today still be masters of the world.
