Hmm, are you sure there even would've *been* a WWII? Or perhaps the question is, 2 World Wars instead of none, or only one, or maybe more than two?

Who knows? The interactions of nations are so complicated, who knows how it would affect it. There'd definitely have been colonialism in Africa, India, SE Asia and Oceania, but probably divided up differently. And the timeline might've been different, the colonies might've won their independence earlier, or later. Japan would've had different experiences with Europe which might've affected their expansion, who knows? -- "Cats are rather delicate creatures and they are subject to a good many ailments, but I never heard of one who suffered from insomnia." -- Joseph Wood Krutch http://members.tripod.com/~Nik_Taylor/X-Files/ ICQ #: 18656696 AOL screen-name: NikTailor
