What if Hitler...?

[The Infamous Scamola]

If Hitler hadnt declared war on Poland history would of turned out much different.
So,I was wandering what do you think would of happend if Hitler hadnt declared war on Poland:
would he of died of old age?,would he have been killed by the freedom fighters?,would we know about the holocaust?,how would the world be different from the one we know today?

Thats pretty obvious... The Soviet Union and the West would probably have escalated and surpassed The Cold War. Most countries near Russia would be owned by the Soviet Union (as it wouldn't have split up) and NATO/UN would be a lot less powerful.

It's impossible to ever know, damn butterfly effect...

If Hitler had not declared war on Poland, he would've won. Then his lead scientists would clone dinosaurs from the fossils, and his army would ride around on said dinosaurs, striding the world as a colossus.

Just my take.

me thinks this will end badly....

I was going to comment in the new Zero Punctuation thread how Escapist Posters were more likely to defend Hitler than 50 Cent, though I refrained. No one has said anything good about him here though...yet. Really though, just that Hitler even popped up is rather amusing.

So I take it you're not a supporter of my nazis-riding-on-dinosaurs theory?

Hitler would probably have gone into the clegry, seeing as how he was catholic, and by now he'd probably be pope.

Honestly I don't think anything would have turned out differently. It might have just taken longer for the conflict to escalate into a world war. Hitler had one desire, to gain as much power as possible. To change the course of WW2 you would have to assume Hitler was changed on a much more fundamental level, not just that he decided against invading Poland.

I would prefer to ask: What if Hitler did everything he did with Germany up until the point where he suggested concentration camps for "inferior people" and his own Generals said "but all of those people you're going to kill could be trained as soldiers" and then the Generals killed Hitler because he was clearly loopy and had the German Army eliminate the Gestapo?

Sorry,I'm new at this,I thought it would of been an interesting argument

Hitler didnt want a war with Britain or France... he only wanted to fight the Eastern Europeans and communists..

Britain and France only went to war with Hitler because he invaded Poland....


No invasion of poland would probaly have lead to Fascists Vs Communists without the US or Britain etc involved.. then its a question of who would have won?

 

[Hedberger]

Also the cold war had little to do with Germany it probably would've started sometime later anyway

Are we assuming the second world war didnt happen here then? If so then as other people have said war between the Soviet Union and what is now Nato (probably).

For an interesting take on the Axis winning the 2nd World War read the Man in the High Castle by Philip K Dick. Do it. Do it now. I'll wait...
