    If Poland defeats Germany at the beginning of the war, then America never joins the fight. The country doesn’t get swept up in a patriotic Nazi killing phase, and therefore public sentiment never views Nazis as cartoon baddies. The Klan is never stopped, the space race doesn’t happen, man never lands on the moon, and Nixon converts America into a fascist dictatorship in the 1970s. Also, Star Trek is never made.

      It also doesn’t become an industrial and military powerhouse, tries to instigate a war with Canada, gets their ass kicked (again).

      Discussions like this makes me wonder if the reason why time travelers can never kill Hitler…is because Hitler himself was a time traveler, and somehow the future determined he was a necessary evil at a particular point in time. Like…the original timeline was worse than Hitler.

        Also Tolkien doesn’t put his experiences of the horrors of war into Lord of the Rings, which means Dungeons and Dragons never gets popular.

          Well, his horrors were from the first WW. That still happens without Hitler.
