This is an interesting question to consider. Anyone who knows about WW1 realizes that it was essentially the death of Old Europe. That is to say it was when the monarchy's and empires crumbled. This in turn paved the way for WW2.
How do you believe history would have changed had the Entente been defeated? Would Europe be run by Prussia and the Austria Hungarians as well as other Monarchy's? Would the middle east be controlled by the Ottomans? If so when do you believe the collapse of old Europe and it's empires would have come.

No, actually. It's referred to as "Counterfactual History" and is becoming ever more popular. Even in Academic circles, as a History Undergrad myself, we have to study it as Historians just love to bitch and take sides about the past.
I think the Ottomans and Axis would have eventually fell apart, giving birth to a new war between East and West. America may have finally had to have given into Germany and Hungary's War, or could have fought them. Either way, it would have been a worse outcome than the original of WW1 (assuming we aren't venturing into Hitler territory here). That said, if the opposing powers (Germany, Austria, Hungary etc) won WW1 I don't think Hitler and the Nazis would have come into power, or at least not as big as they did as work, food and living space would have been plentiful due to expansion.
:facepalm:
This. Germany wasn't even antisemitic during WWI, jews served in the German army and were among the last jews to be sent to camps under Nazi rule.
Ok I have to know. Were you being serious when you said this and are really that stupid or were you trolling? WW1 had nothing to do with the Jews. It had everything to do with the heir to Austria Hungary's throne getting killed by Serbian Nationalists. At which point a system of alliances and a "blank check" to Austria from Germany caused what should have been a local problem and turned it into a world war.
Now please tell me. What part of that has ANYTHING to do with the Jews? I believe your thinking about WW2:facepalm:
Damn. WW2 and Hitler rose from popular discontent after WW1 and the scapegoat Germany needed to get back on her feet. The Jews and Lefties happened to be a good enemy (and rightly so in the case of the Jews) and voila!
If you need a history lesson, just PM. Did my final exam today and that was on Nazi stuff.
I think that fatty and sanchez got trolled a little.
