Ok less funny....for me it would have to be the Ending of the second world. Ok so many events have had alot more significance to the world and civilisation in general. But imagine if Hitler had taken over europe and possibly more? My life at least would be very different. If that conflict had been allowed to continue and Hitler emerged victorious all that we had built on over our thousands of years of civilation would be lost. We would have gone back to the dark ages where people were ruled by oppressive kings. The Jews would be all but erradicated and a possible nuclear conflict might have occurred with the US. |
Hitler did take over Europe as well as large chunks of Africa and Asia. But I suppose you meant England specifically? And last time I checked, there are still places "were people were ruled by oppressive kings." It's just that we seldom call them kings now.
But yes, the outcome of WW2 had an enormous influence on world politics after its conclusion.
