Could Hîtler's Germany have conquered Europe? If so, what would European society be like today? If so, would the National Socialists have
been overthrown later in a different way? Perhaps overthrown by a communist or anarchist revolution?
Yes, I believe that Hitler very well could have conquered Europe [assuming that he hadn't of gone into Russia in the winter]. Essentially, the only
thing preventing him from doing so were those resilient British people not giving up their island. But, eventually, since Germany was attacking with
air raids, Britian would've eventually fallen.
Had that happened, one major difference would be that everyone would speak German. Outside of that, I would think that Hitler would've banned all
different cultural activities other than those of Germany/Austria. This is because he seemingly wanted a homogenious society.
There probably would've been attempts to overthrow the Nazi regime. I doubt that it would've been by anarchists or communists. It probably would
have come about by freedom loving people that survived the War.

perhaps even taken over the world
I saw once on a documentary about World War II and in it, it was stated that Hitler envisioned the world containing three countries. Essentially,
Germany controlling most, Japan in the Orient, and the US in the West. They went on to say that Hitler actually had plans to overthrow the emperor of
Japan and grab that as his own! But he had no such plan for the United States. He, as well as the Japanese emperor, wanted to leave the US alone.
It seems that they understood that there was, and even still is, something special, something different, about the United States compared to the rest
of the world. They each seemed to know that if the US joined the effort in a more meaningful way, as we were giving supplies and such, it was done
for. History shows to that that is essentially true as a well.
I said all that to just say, that I don't think Hitler could've conquered the whole world.
Something that I never understood is why Japan and Germany allied. I must've missed that in history class. Perhaps someone could shed some light on
this?
