[DiogenesLamp]

The US had to choose between entering the war or allowing a probable German victory. Did the US make the correct choice? We will never know, because we will never know what would have happened otherwise.

So our choices were, all the hundred million plus who died as a result of the history we have now, with a European Union effectively dominated by Germany.

Or Germany winning World War I, none of the subsequent hundred plus million dead, and a Europe effectively dominated by Germany.

It could have hardly turned out worse than it did had the Germans won WWI.

In 1917, nobody could have predicted the Depression, the rise of Hitler, and WWII. A German military victory in 1917-18 seemed like a terrible thing, and it would have been.
