As for Hitler, it's well-known that Nazi eugenics, race laws and expansionism were heavily influenced and inspired by the US. In fact US racial law was so racist sometimes even the Nazis were too revolted by it to copy it. |
Yup, it's like I said, killing the bad guys of history is like playing whack-a-mole.
So I'm just going back to the mid to late Victorian era and become a settler.
Horses, cows, and living without electricity or plumbing make me happy.
I'll be even happier living around people that also never heard of the Internet,
telephones, etc.
