If you could go back in time and kill Hitler as a 10 mth old baby, would you? You know how many will be saved

Answer 1

You miss the point, the rise of the national socialist workers party arose from the despair of post world war one Germany, particularly the French, who claimed the German industrial lands as their own leaving them with no way to pay crippiling war debts and sending the country in to poverty and hyper inflation

Hitler was good at vocalising and stirring up the anger of the German people as a whole. The rise of facism came from this collective anger and national pride

If this country goes to the dogs anymore it may very well happen all over again here in the UK soon

Answer 2

Given the basics of time, you cannot go back in time to change history. Here is the reason behind it. Say a person goes back to change something, once time has been altered it has a domino affect. The person who went back in time would have no reason to be there. This is because in the future this event would have never happened, so 'why' would he be in the past now. However to answer your question while Hitler was one of the most vial persons to walk this Earth a lot of things came about because of him. A major one is the faster invention of the jet engine. Also as many peolpe have said the baby boom would have never happened, which ultimatley would affect millions of people. While 6 million people were slaughtered cause of him 10x that number would never exist do to the effect that how many baby boomers would never be born. Of course there is nothing saying that the war in the pacific would have never happened but I guess we'll never know.

Answer 3

In many ways Heinrich Himmler made Adolf Hitler look like a boyscout. In short no, I don't think I could do it.

Maybe, maybe not. Since time travel would require that the sections o ftime be somhow occuring simultaniously. IN other words nothing you do in the past could alter what you did in the future since the pattern is continuous given that you came from the present and went back and did tins before you left. I really don't think that the asker is being that serious.

And ya, time travel, at least to the past, is impossible; but this is a hypothetical situation. Good luck finding the Hitlers in Victorian Era Austria.

Answer 4

Put simply, Hitler was THE most evil person of the 20th Century, but i would not kill him. WW2 was probably the worst period in Human history. However, if there was no WW2, then many great thing would not have happened. For the UK anyway, cities such as London, Glasgow etc would still have massive slum areas, the NHS with free health care for all would not have been formed, and, globally, people would probably be living in concrete high rise block in a communist superstate!

Answer 5

Anti-semitism had existed for centuries in Europe, and the German nationalistic variety had existed for decades before the rise of Hitler.

If I had the power to change one thing, I would have stopped the U.S's entry into WWI. If that had happened, that war probably would have ended as an equitable truce, without saddling Germany with monstrous war-debt and fostering an environment that would allow such monsters to spawn in the first place.

Answer 6

No, because if it wasn't him it was going to be someone else like him, there have always been evil people like hitler in history such as cromwell and napoelean and thats always gona be the way, look at Rwanda and Zimbabwe today, the people in charge are as bad as hitler and there is noting being done because no one cares which is f*cking terrible. You can't kill every ten month old baby just incase they're evil that would'nt work.

Answer 7

If we did, then someone else would take his place. At least his rein ended! If you kill hitler as a baby some other psycodelic loser would have taken his place then WW2 would not have happened and then the US would have gotten so wealthy......woooo, that is a lot of what maybe's.

I'm just glad he is dead now!!

Oh, and Nightwish are you crazy? He was cool? You need a lesson in history and morals!! I'm glad your teacher told you off!!

Answer 8

No. As horrible as the man was, and despite all the suffering he inflicted on the world, we really don't know what might have happened without him. Things might actually have been worse. That's a lot of responsibility to take onto yourself.

Answer 9

The problem is that you don't know if someone 10x worse then Hitler (though hard to imagine) could take control of Germany. It's one of the those questions that seem simple at first, but the more you think about it...the harder it is to answer.

Answer 10

For me it's simple - Thou shalt not kill.

Even one death on your hands makes you as bad as Hitler - taking another person's life is never the right thing to do. Yes, some situations make it almost compulsory (saving your own family from a homicidal maniac . . .) but it is still not right, as in morally, spiritually, ethically right.
