[maestro15]

Here are a few questions for people who have A's in History class.

1)- What if Britain won the revolutionary war?

2)- If the confederacy would have won, how would every thing be like here in the US? Would more states seceed? '

3) What would have happened if Nazi Germany won? (i would probably be dead because I'm Jewish)

4) What would life be if We never had the middle ages? Would we be more advanced?

5)If I was never born, Then who would be the world ruler from the years 2049 to 2090? :)

1)- What if Britain won the revolutionary war?
Then we would have been all killed, tarred, and feathered.
2)- If the confederacy would have won, how would every thing be like here in the US? Would more states seceed? '
I would be dead and/or a slave. I think...that some states would have run to the confederate side since they didnt wanna be the minority and threatened.
3) What would have happened if Nazi Germany won? (i would probably be dead because I'm Jewish)
Probably dead and we would all be living miserable nazi lives (prolly not but you get the point)
4) What would life be if We never had the middle ages? Would we be more advanced?
I think we would be much more advanced...but thats only if the Roman empire never fell. The loss of technology was partly due to the fall of the roman empire.
5)If I was never born, Then who would be the world ruler from the years 2049 to 2090?

1)- What if Britain won the revolutionary war?

You'd know the difference between trousers and pants and would drive on the correct side of the road.

2)- If the confederacy would have won, how would every thing be like here in the US? Would more states seceed? '

3) What would have happened if Nazi Germany won? (i would probably be dead because I'm Jewish)

I think its unlikely that Germany could have successfully brought the war to the American homeland, so you would have withdrawn from Europe.

4) What would life be if We never had the middle ages? Would we be more advanced?

I doubt it. Most technological advances have come about as a result of war and weapons races. I thought the middle ages were quite strong on those.

5)If I was never born, Then who would be the world ruler from the years 2049 to 2090?

1)- What if Britain won the revolutionary war?
We'd be a far less secular world.

2)- If the confederacy would have won, how would every thing be like here in the US? Would more states seceed?
America would probably be even more hateful and racist and slavery would still be in place, or at least, it'd take longer to abolish.

3) What would have happened if Nazi Germany won? (i would probably be dead because I'm Jewish)
We'd all be speaking German or Japanese. And Japan probably wouldn't be the world's #1 exporter of really weird shit. Rather than the Cold War being between Capitalism and Communism, it'd be between Fascism and Communism, which are even more polarized, and with nuclear weapons, they'd probably destroy the planet.

4) What would life be if We never had the middle ages? Would we be more advanced?

You're a dolt. The fall of the roman empire and dogma of the catholic church left to reign supreme in the politically divided kingdoms of medieval Europe have been a crippling blow in the way of technological advancement. At the time, the muslim empire, with its capital in Baghdad, was the world's greatest center of knowledge, where they had already developed the scientific method, algebra, the beginning of modern medicine, and more. During the time of the Roman Empire, the Carthaginians to the south (which the Romans eventually crushed, rather brutally) even had complex apartment structures that would go three or four stories high and have running water.

There won't be a world ruler until we advance to the point where human civilization is spread across multiple planets and solar systems. Hell, even then, I'd imagine worlds to be governed more by councils of sorts and electing interstellar representatives. Of course, that's just speculation, and partly the nerd in me speaking.

how is this even relate to anything, none of these did happen, so why question it?

Well thats a very narrow and close minded stance
You can learn allot and/or discover new ways of thinking from running different hypothetical scenarios
Its healthy to question everything

This forum is for debate iirc, and there really isn't anything to get through this thread, this thread would seem more like a discussion. And I didn't mean the whole revolutionary war never happened, etc. I meant that the British never won, so there really is no debate really to happen, maybe I'm using my words wrong, yes it is good to ask questions like these but I don't think this would be the right section.

Let me help you a bit WTFicus.

This forum is called Ramblings of the Wise.

A discussion is in essence 'rambling' and we should be considering all that are rambling (or discussing) in this thread wise since they are thinking outside of the box.

Since it meets those two criteria, I think its safe

[Ryhanna]

Who says this isn't a debate? The questions and answers are debatable, and you've started a debate of your own inside this thread sir.

[CuriousDestruction]

what would happen if aliens invaded earth? what would happen if a zombie attack occurred in racoon city? what if our politicians were secretly blood-sucking vampires... oh wait.

history is full of "What If's", so is the present. better worry about those ones first.

Look at Britain and there freedoms.

Just replace question 4 with ''What if the great library of Alexandria never burnt down??''

What if questions don't really have much to do with history.. And the funny answers we're already given so I'll go away now.
