Let's also not forget that the sanctions levied on Germany gave Hitler his platform. If Germany wasn't sanctioned so bad and their economy in shambles due to those sanctions he doesn't have a platform

BULL shite
You don’t think WWI and WWII advanced technology atleast 20 years?
ok The foundation for computers and advanced telecommunications was established and improved on directly because of the world wars

Just imagine, already living in a literal hell hole, freezing, muddy, trying to find a brief respite in sleep, only to awaken to being gnawed on by a giant rat.

LOL....As a millennial, you wouldn't know Paradise if it fell on you. All I ever hear from your generation is whining. You can't judge the Boomers or say what they would or would not have put up with. That's because your idea of hell is when you don't have cell phone service.
I love this type of ignorant thought process.
The Iraq and Afghanistan campaigns have been largely fought on the backs of millennials. Unnecessary wars that the boomers sent their kids to fight.

I still think the War in the Pacific is inevitable though. It may have turned out a bit differently, but the Rape of Nanking would still occur. It may have delayed it by 5 or so years, but Hirohito (I’m still sickened that Nixon and Reagan shook someone every bit as morally depraved as Hitler and Stalin) was still going to come to power and proceed with his imperialist goals his grandfather started.
I’m not so sure about that. Without Germany’s guarantee to join in on their behalf and open another front for the Americans, I don’t see how the Japanese figured that they could win it on their own.

I watched most of Apocalypse this morning. Incredible footage. I highly recommend it

I still think they'd go to town on their neighbors and eventually it would be too much to ignore. Pearl Harbor might not happen, but may attack a place like say Australia that would force us to go to war. Hell, I think Singapore may have done it.

nuclear bomb was inevitable though. No matter what timeline we go down, that would have been discovered. Granted nuclear holocaust has been miraculously prevented (it’s still shocking we made it out of the 50s-80s without it happening), but that invention is a certainty in all timelines.
I think you get my point but to clarify it is any deviation to the current timeline could be worse. The exact chain of events that took place has allowed humanity to exist with nuclear weapons for 75 years. Borrowed time maybe but Ill take it.

I suspect their imperial ambitions would have reared their head again. Hirohito was just following his grandfather’s lead.

About apocalypse...are there more from the same studio? I really liked how they did that series. Will rewatch tonight

They also have a WW2 series, a series on Hitler, a series on Stalin, and a 2 part special just on Verdun.
