What If the Germans had Won the Great War?

Taki wonders in the New York Press what the world would have been like had the Central Powers won the Great War. In short, much better:

What would have happened had Germany won the war? For starters, the most philo-Semitic nation in Europe, Germany, would have remained so. Six million Jews would not have disappeared, as Hitler would have remained a failed artist and nothing more. The dynasties would have survived, which means there would have been no communism with its 20 to possibly 100 million victims. Hungary would not have been chopped up by Romania and Slovakia and Yugoslavia would not have become the unnatural federation it became. The Ottoman Empire would have lumbered along, Iraq would not have been created, nor would’ve Isræl, Lebanon or Jordan. Russia would have joined the modern world—eventually. The world would have been led by England, Germany, France and the United States, and Africa would have never become the slaughterhouse it is today.

Read the long version—it’s even better. The Great War was one of the great crimes of history, and we were on the wrong side of it.
