Hi Velho
Just a small point re your post to Gabe. In the early 1900s, the major power
was Britain, not the USA. The USA began to take over at the end of WW1 in
1918 and effectively did so at the end of WW2 in 1945. So, you had a little
problem over your chronology!
The suggestion that if the Axis powers had won the war in 1945, many would
be speaking German is a possibility and you Japanese. So would the Americans
speak German as Hitler definitely intended world domination which included
America. He was after all a "rock solid Christian." Believe this or not, he
probably would have gone in for a
coronation as king Hitler I'm sure! In London, he had ear-marked the
Selfridges building in Oxford Street or Whiteleys Store in Queensway as his
command headquarters. I am sure he had his eyes on the Whitehouse USA too.
However, even if there was German
hegemony, I do not think it would last that long (not withstanding his
vision of a thousand year Reich) and as English was already spoken in many
parts of the world (the former British Empire and in North America), I think
the international language could probably have been English rather than
German. Also note that Hitler was a racist who believed in Nordic
superiority and for this reason, non-white people would have been confined
outside Europe. Neither Gabe nor I would be living in Europe nor would you
be travelling for a Masters at King's College! Pure speculation of course
which is sometimes good fun!
