      Did you not read past the first paragraph? Everything else I wrote was about WWI and WWII. I literally talked about Hitler.

          Okay, then why did you say:

          Good thing I wasn’t grabbing all of history in my statement then, just 2 plot points.

          When I was literally discussing those two plot points?

          I’ll paste what I said again. Maybe you’ll have a legitimate response to it?

          Would there have been no Nazi party if World War I never happened? Was Hitler’s rise to power in part due to his experiences in World War I and the economic crisis Germany was put in due, in part, to World War I? We have no way of knowing.

          Maybe if Victoria and Albert hadn’t married, World War I would still have happened, but been even worse because there would have been even greater enmity between the British and the Germans. We can’t know. The best we can do is write speculative fiction.

            Because you said that’s “all of history”, it’s not like I’m trying to link Christopher Columbus to 9/11 here. I even stated the dude mixed the wars up in another comment thread.

                As I said in the beginning it was not anything profound, don’t know what your trying to make this into but I’ll nip it now. Welcome to the list
