Entry: Man of the Century Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/man_of_the_century#27848 Post contents: There seems no doubt that for Britain & Churchill WW2 was a war of choice, and that it led to the destruction of the British Empire and US-Soviet global supremacy. I think one can reasonably dispute though whether this was a worse outcome for the world than Nazi victory and domination of Europe from the English channel to the Urals. Or, perhaps more likely, Soviet victory and dominance of Eurasia from Vladivostok to the English channel; for Hitler always intended to attack Russia, and would probably have failed even without British & US support. I don't think we can say for sure, and certainly these days in many ways the EU is less free than Russia; for all I know a post-Nazi-victory Europe would have evolved in a better direction than the EU has over the past 30 years. It seems a bit unlikely though. Sent at: 2008 12 03
