What would our world look like today?

IDK if Germany was fighting for conquest or for economic dominance. If Germany had won, the dying monarchies of Europe would have had a breath of new life. The end of colonialism may have been delayed or prevented. There would have been no humiliating Treaty of Versailles. The economic discontent of the pre-Hitler era might not have happened, and Hitler may have died an obscure paperhanger. No SS. No Gestapo. No Holocaust. But Communism might have had more room to operate. Brutal Stalin may have become expansionist anyway.
