Interesting. One wonders how America would have matured without the void created by a weakened Europe.

It's interesting to think about, but I tend to believe it would largely happen the same way. A victorious imperial Germany would have eventually clashed with Britain which probably would have drug the United States into the war. And no matter how economically powerful Germany was at that point, it would not have the capability to match American industry in a total war. What the US produced from 1939-45 is nothing short of astounding.

And that's not even taking into consideration the Japanese and Russia/the USSR. Who knows how that would have played out.
