And people did know just as little in 1911 about how the world would look like in 1945.
We who sit on the answer key could safely say that quite many of those who lived at that time had little to look forward to.
UK enthroned in 1911 at the top of the podium when it comes to genocide.
Not Germany. Not Russia. Not even the United States.
Britain had destroyed 100% of a very own race; the tasmani.
Every single one. Exterminated. To the very last individual.
No nation has achieved 100% eradication since.
Britain still holds the record.
And not long after the British empire had destroyed their own humanity, then started a chain of events that would bring the empire in history's scrap heap.
And no empire ever were more dehumanised, and wiped out faster, than the empire that made a cruzade for the swastika.
The story of the rise of Nazism are well known and well-told by talented people.
A little bizarre musical comedy clown becomes the world's most powerful man, in a racist empire that balances on the edge of world domination. But the Nazi empire is just as short-lived as it becomes malignant.
Stalin's reign of illness lasts longer than Hitler's version, but Stalinism is also short lived, the protagonist's frenzied killing contributes to this.
The American empire has outlived the Stalinist already, but the British empire still surpasses the U.S. in life expectancy.
Adolf Hitler once was a futile screaming throat. An angry little lemur who led pathetic fights in the beer halls, and called this coup attempts. Britain and Poland had originally been assigned roles in Adolf's little theater, but both refuse to play the roles that had been assigned to them. Hitler was therefore forced to improvise in the first act, and he persuaded the Soviet Union to enter into a non-aggression pact. With this absurd pact safeguarding their back, the Nazis began the long cruzade under the swastika, which eventually would leave Europe in ruins.
Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were in fact convinced that Poland in general and Warsaw in particular was the birthplace for Communist conspiracies, which was conducted by the Jews in Moscow. Such ideas of a paranoid nature, is often seen in environments that enjoys methamphetamine and similar invigorating stimuli. And the Nazis had an unusually strong preference for energiboozters of this type.
The road from 1911 to 1945 was never written in stone in advance. A number of unfortunate factors in the past means we now have the sad history we have. Methamphetamine, racist pseudo-science and economic depression. In the end war. But it never had to go that way. Fair to remember when we discuss peace and war and politics and stuff like that at the time. History has sometimes been repeated, but not always, thankfully.
We have our time, and Adolf Hitler had his. That generation that stopped Hitler passes away, and we must choose our own path. We always have a choice. There is always hope. But as hope was run down in a starved and humiliated inter-war Germany, the Teutonian hope was related to the swastika, and this was humanity's great grief and misery. While the war in 1914 was largely a European war, the one in 1939 spread throughout the world. As a global tsunami of hunger, disease, crime and death. We can argue that the global firestorm really started when Japan attacked China, too. But so be it.
When the great war was over, Hitler's empire was gone. Also Stalin's empire was discredited amongst his own, and it did not survive the protagonist's demise. The Western European empires were just shadows of themselves, and fell apart bit by bit, by the lack of strength and endurance. The world was changed forever.
Adolf Hitler failed in all objectives that Nazism had. Both communism and neo-liberalism was strengthened after World War II, and both ideologies were Nazi competitors. And the Jews, who the Nazis hated the most, they never managed to eradicate them. Although the world may know that they certainly tried. And the Aryan race, who the Nazis even believed to protect the interests of, lost the lucrative position as the worlds authority for all time.
Adolf Hitler was not much of a businessman.
Although the killer instinct was definitely not lacking.
