So most of us have probably never given much thought to WW1. We think of it as just some silly event which you were forced to memorize in 8th grade history class
But come to think of it..... a countless many (myself included) have been directly impacted by this terrible, century old event
Allied victory in ww1:
End of the ottoman caliphate = paves the way for the creation of the state of israel (the rest is history....)
Allied victory in ww1:
British / french colonize the middle east (sykes-picot agreement) and divide it along arbitrary borders with zero consideration to ethnic / religious differences. A century of unending conflict and instability ensues
Central powers victory in ww1:
- No state of Israel
-Peaceful coexistence between Arabs and non arabs, Muslims, Jews, and Christians
- No U.S intervention in the region
-Saudi Arabia (probably) wouldn't exist.
- No state of israel + no saudi arabia + no foreign intervention = islamist terrorism as a worldwide phenomenon would never exist
So, yeah. The entire world would have been so much more peaceful, so much more stable, and so much more prosperous had history taken a different course. There would no be (((Israel))) and you would never hear about islamic terrorism. Everything changes
