What if ww2 never happened If Japan and Germany had not invaded their neighboring countries, more people would have died in the coming conflicts between other superpower countries.

if ww2 never happened wars between nations would be frequent and everyday common affairs. United Nations would not exist to prevent any of the wars. The US would not be the top superpower country and would have little influence over world affairs. All of Europe would never have united to create the Euro, and fighting would continue to this day.

First, Nazi Germany would enslave Africa to mine minerals like silver and gold (see Wikipedia on the intent of WWII’s Nazi North African Campaign). Hitler creates a plan to also control almost all the oil in the world. Nazi Germany creates a treaty with most of the oil rich Middle East nations to make oil trade in German Reichsmark or Germany’s currency at that time. Most of the Middle East (Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan) eagerly join Nazi Germany to combine their efforts in wiping out the Jews from their country. In return for the petro-Reichsmark currency agreement, Nazi Germany provides the Middle East Reich Allies advanced war weapons to crush Saudi Arabia and overthrow the Saudi King, a staunch US ally. The word “genocide” would not be in our vocabulary and all the Jews would be slowly and systematically killed in Europe and in the Middle East due to the Nazi’s powerful economic might and political influence.

Next, Nazi Germany reaches out to Russia and China to form a Triumvirate Regime, promising to promote Communism and Socialism and use Capitalism as a scapegoat for the source of the world’s social unrest and the chasm between the rich and poor. Nazi Germany eventually develops the technology to rapidly build nuclear bombs and provides Russia and China advanced weapons and nuclear bombs to conquer neighboring countries. British India is invaded by China in a war that ends up in India losing. India and China unite; India is absorbed into China. Japan never invaded China because there was no WWII, and the table would turn as China would eventually invade Japan and all the surrounding islands that Imperial Japan would have taken in WWII.

if ww2 never happened the US breaks apart leaving behind just a few self-governed states. Instead of the Cold War, it would be a Hot War between the US and Russia, with Russia receiving advanced weapons and financial backing from Nazi Germany. The US is invaded by Communist Russia, similar to the 1984 movie “Red Dawn.” Nazi Germany assists Russia’s invasion by sending a nuclear-armed submarine on a suicide mission to go underwater, undetected into the Potomac River to Washington D.C. The detonation of the nuclear bomb destroys the US capital and creates anarchy. A few states rise up from the ashes of war to become self-governed but never become united like it was before. The African American Civil Rights Movement would have never occurred because there was no WWII to give blacks a chance to prove their bravery, patriotism, and equals in the battlefield to the whites; no black war heroes to be honored.

WWII was necessary to save more lives for future generations. Nazi Germany due to their expansionist policy had to create new and advanced war weapons. One of their field of research was on the atomic bomb, their top-secret and most devastating war weapon. German scientists had already figured out how to make such a weapon but had tricked Hitler to believe it wasn’t ready; they didn’t want such a weapon to fall into the wrong hands. Once the Nazis lost the war, the US quickly implemented operation Paper Clip to confiscate all the atomic research and recruit all German scientists before the Russians could get them. With help from German scientists, the US created the two atomic bombs that helped shorten the war with Japan; detonating the bombs on the country of Japan showed the rest of the world the horrific effects of the devastating weapon. Naturally, any country that wants to remain a superpower had to also get the ability to make these bombs. Today, all the superpowers do not invade one another because everyone has the ability to retaliate with their own nuclear bombs. To set off just one modern-day nuclear bomb with 1000 times more powerful than the ones set off on Hiroshima and Nagasaki would annihilate half the hemisphere of Earth due to years of nuclear winters, crop failures, food shortages, water contamination, countless health problems, and environmental devastation. We are in a period of truce between all the superpower countries because of the invention: the nuclear bomb. Germany’s Nazis and Hitler, Japan’s Imperialism, and WWII had actually saved more lives in the future.

The first computer was also invented during WWII by the English math professor, Alan Turing, who helped solve and broke Germany’s Enigma code. Historians agreed that Turing’s computer shortened the war by at least a few years. You can learn some of this by watching the movie “The Imitation Game.” WWII was the main impetus for Turing’s funding to build the first computer (there was no Google back then for funding). We have modern computers and the internet due to the great advancements accomplished during WWII. How many lives were saved by all the hospitals’ MRI computers and countless computers in other medical applications? We’re still saving lives today and making life better with computers. and that is what would happen if ww2 never happened.
