Thus, the allied victory in the Great War, in making possible the Soviet Union, World War II, the Holocaust, the Cold War and the wars in Korea and Vietnam, proved to be a disaster. This does not take into consideration the 29 million Soviets who perished in WWII. Ignoring in this instance the tragic history of China, consider, that in the first 30 years of the Soviet Union more than 27 million people were imprisoned or perished: From 1918 to 1920, 4 million died in the civil war and a typhus epidemic 5 million died from famine in 1921-22 while 10 million died or were imprisoned in the collectivization of agriculture, 1928-33, as were 8 million in the purges 1935-38. Communism has been a disaster for the people of Russia and also China. GermanyвЂ™s desire, especially that of Hitler and the Nazis, to abrogate the Treaty of Versailles produced World War II in Europe, which also produced the horrors of the Holocaust.ДЄnother major consequence of WWI was the Bolshevik/Communist Revolution in Russia, which led to a 70-year struggle between the Soviets and the West. However, France was a weakened power as a result of the war and was totally overwhelmed by the emergence of Fascist Italy and Nazi Germany. Turkey became a secular Muslim state, Austria-Hungary disappeared, Germany slowly evolved into a Nazi-Hitlerian state, and Russia brought Communism to the world.ДЄnother result of the war was that France emerged as the dominant power on the continent. One could make this assertion largely because of the results of WWI, all of which were extremely important.ДЇirst, four great empires in Central and Eastern Europe experienced the overthrow of the government that led the country into the war: Russia, Turkey, Austria-Hungary and Germany. Within the context of this proposition, the world and the course of history would have been better off had we remained in isolation and Germany had won the war. In the spirit of intellectual fun and given that the Western World is commemorating the 100th anniversary of the outbreak of World War I, one might assert the following proposition: The entry of the United States on the side of the allies - England, France, Russia, Italy and Japan, which was critical in the defeat of the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria and Turkey) - was the biggest diplomatic blunder of the entire 20th century.

Reversing the results in history and speculating about the subsequent course of history is one way to illuminate the full significance of what did occur.

Some historians enjoy the intellectual exercise of engaging in counter-factual history, i.e., positing the opposite outcome of a particular historical even such as: England winning the American Revolutionary War, the Confederacy winning the Civil War or Napoleon winning in Russia. Would the world be better if Germany won WWI?
