    Germany didn't go to war in WW2. It was Britain and France that went to war against Germany. Germany was perfectly content taking Poland without global conflict, just like it had the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia and Austria with the Anschluss.

    Take a good look at Switzerland. That's what most of central Europe would look like if WW1 and WW2 hadn't happened. The biggest change - no real social security and no big government. The regional governments in Germany would be even more important than they are now, taxes would be lower and billions of DMarks and then Euros wouldn't have been wasted in buying German unification.

    If Hitler was sensible & not a militarist/fascist, he could've led Germany on the path of prosperity as is being done now. But he was over come by intense greed, eying the vast USSR as a future German homeland ("Lebensraum") that can only be won in a war, and intense racial hatred for Jews, who form a religious group, not as a race- as well as the Slavs.

    Assuming that they weren't run by a bunch of idiots like the Nazis or communists, Germany would be a lot more prosperous.
