Re: OT:US don\'t qualify for EU membership, don\'t spank children, WW2 history.

If US was not around, WWI could end other way - Germany forcing France to surrender. There would be no Versale treaty, Prussian empire survived and hence no fascism in Germany. But may be in France instead. The history would be trully different. There would be no USSR too, I pretty sure.
