My thinking is without WW2, there would of been no Eastern Block as Stalin couldn't of armed up and taken over the countries he did with Hitler as the enemy. Would any of the Eastern Block of gone Communist and stayed Communist without the war?
Questionable if the War in the Pacific would of happened or been as drawn out without the war in Europe. The war in the Pacific destabilised China and allowed Japan to invade and stay. Afterwards Mao took over. Could he of done that with a stable china?
WW2 has done more to shape the world today than most things.
