The interesting thing is if the nitwits in Yugoslavia had never killed Crown Prince Ferdanan (and his lovely wife)...WW I would never have happened...and Hitler would have been a simple housepainter in Austria. Everything is dependent on these Yugoslaiva dimwits who thought they were doing the world a favor. Hitler was destined to be just a plain housepainter after his entry was turned down at the Vienna High Arts Academy. His dad was the towns train station manager and was not of any statue to help the son. Life would be quiet different today under a slightly different scenario.

My dear fellow, as my SERBIAN ancestors' ghosts bid me to tell you, those were SERBS who lit those matches by killing Ferdinand....SERBS, whose fate was to pour themselves into the futile project known as Yugoslavia, which ultimately became their downfall in 1941, and in 1945, and in 1991,.....

Thank GOD I am an American........

Without German rocket/missle science, we might not have gone to the moon (also with the absence of a boast to challenge Russian space technology). Rockets would have probably come around at some point. Consider technologies like radar, jet airliners, satellites.

Japanese Imperial agression may have still occurred.

Communist/socialist ideologies may have overrun the globe.

Would the global depression have occurred/been so bad?

America and its place in the world would have been different in the absence of 2 world wars.
