How would our lives be different if Germany had won WWII? (Serious answers only please)?

Answer 1

Actually healthier. In most ways Hitler was cruel & unjust. Although, he had a thing for health. After he quit smoking, he went nuts with health issues. His armies were fed a very balanced & healthy diet, & he was agiainst smoking altogether, as a matter of fact, no one was allowed to smoke in his presence. I saw a great documentary on this, he had some wonderful ideas for the planet, & he was ahead of his time for a majority of his inovations. He was also big on crime, I do believe that this world would be a safer, & more enviromentally friendly place to live, of course providing that you were lucky enough to fall into the catagory that was chosen to exist. As we all know, minorities of all creeds would be exstinguished, so the world would have been horrified for many years watching this take place, but believe it or not if his ideas for this planet had matured, eventually it would have been one of enviromental concious, and a lot more free of crime. But, ultimately, we would live in fear, knowing that ourselves or our family members would never be too good to be put to death.
I am an American, & love my freedom of choice that I wouldn't have today if the Germans had won the war.

Answer 2

Okay, historically the only way this could have happened is if the Britain had have signed a peace treaty in 1940/41, and if Hitler had have defeated Russia in 1941/42.

I think Germany would have spent its time consolidating its hold on mainland Europe and suppressing resistance, while the British would have carried on with their overseas empire. The Japanese invasion of Asia would not have worked, because the British would have had enough power to stop them, possibly taking over other European colonies. Germany and Britain would have had very different and conflicting political systems, but a Britain at peace could have prevented Germany expanding outside Europe.

The United States would not have become the superpower it is today: with no Manhattan Project and no massive transfer of European wealth to the US postwar, Britain and Germany would have been pre-eminent superpowers, shutting the US out of much world trade. Us businesses would have happily dealt with both Germany and Britain... in fact the British and Americans probably would have been natural rivals for German business.

Democracy would have survived in Britain, but probably in a different form and certainly it would not be regarded as a better system than dictatorship.

The whole system would have collapsed when Hitler died, because his system required him to be at the centre with absolute power. It really could not have worked at all without him.

Answer 3

Your question is much worth asking - much worth considering.
It is also impossible to answer with any real certainty.
(Who knows what tomorrow will bring?)

But consider this;
At the end of World War II the U.S. was the only nation with nuclear weapons.
There must have been some who thought that WE should take over the world right then - starting with Russia and China.
But that idea was 'nuked', and I, for one, am okay with that decision.
I don't really believe that the world would be a better place if it had one world government, but that's really just my opinion.
Anyway, I don't see how it would be better.

If Nazi Germany was on the brink of world conquest, the U.S. was even closer.
I say that because I believe the U.S. could have actually done it.
But I'm glad that's not the way it played out.

Answer 4

Besides having to speak German, how could be a long dissertation. The options are so varied. But if I look at it on a global scope, I think it would not be over because of distance and controlling the amount people on the earth. Yes all may surrender but it is doubtful that Hitler could have controlled the whole globe. Think there was a movie with this premise. Great question but one that would take much thought and there is only three days to ans. Those use to liberty would rebel and strive for freedom. Peace

Answer 5

If Germany had one WW2 our lives would be completely different and not in a good way. Well now that I have stated the obvious. I think our standard of living would be different because we would owe Germany money as well our government would be different. For Canada going into WW2 is a debate in itself because we were kind of thrust into it because Britain was in it and if Germany did win then they would be mad at us too. However, I think that we needed to fight against Hitler because I think what he was doing was wrong and if he ever did get control the world would not be a happy place.

Answer 6

America would not have really been impacted unless japan won as well.
If Germany did win Communism would have ceased to exist and i think the world would have been involved in a long war filled with sepratists (like we see in iraq)
Nobody really knows what would have happened Germany was expanding to make room for their people.

Answer 7

ok, traditionally the only way this might have befell is that if the england had have signed a peace treaty in 1940/40-one, and if Hitler had have defeated Russia in 1941/40 two. i think of Germany could have spent its time consolidating its carry on mainland Europe and suppressing resistance, on an analogous time as the British could have carried on with their foreign places empire. the jap invasion of Asia does no longer have worked, because of the fact the British could have had adequate means to provide up them, probably taking on different eu colonies. Germany and Britain could have had very diverse and conflicting political structures, yet a Britain at peace might have prevented Germany increasing outdoors Europe. america does no longer have become the superpower it fairly is at present: without ny challenge and no super flow of eu wealth to the U. S. postwar, Britain and Germany could have been pre-eminent superpowers, shutting the U. S. out of a lot international commerce. Us agencies could have luckily dealt with the two Germany and Britain... in certainty the British and individuals probable could have been organic competitors for German corporation. Democracy could have survived in Britain, yet probable in a various style and fairly it does no longer be called a greater advantageous gadget than dictatorship. the entire gadget could have collapsed whilst Hitler died, because of the fact his gadget required him to be on the centre with absolute means. It fairly might desire to no longer have worked in any respect without him.

Answer 8

There would be no Jews, gypsies, open homosexuals, communists, mentally retarded, mentally insane, Jehovah's Witnesses or prostitutes. People who are not WASPish blue-eyed blondes would probably be sterilized and Aryan types would be pressured to have lots of babies. We would probably be told what to wear, where to work, where to go to school and how to march.
Many scientific and medical discoverys would not be made and Hollywood would not exist. We would have regimented diets and exercise. There would be no playstation or MTV. People would be controlled and miserable but pretending to love their government in order not to be tortured or killed.
