Would the world today be better a worst?
I suspect worst. Here is my scenario...
Without Hitler I believe Germany creates the first atomic bomb. Germany was the center of a scientific renaissance. They were far ahead of the rest of the world in rocket technology and atomic research.
Once Germany had nuclear weapons they would have inevitably launched a war to avenge their defeat in WWI. Instead of Hiroshima and Nagasaki we would have Moscow and London (probably two lesser cities in those respective countries).
Europe including Britain would be part of a fascist German empire--The United States of German (U.S.G). Most of the Soviet Union would be annexed for the oil fields. The Soviet Union as we know it would have never existed.
The United States, being out of range of German v2, v3, v4 missles would buy enough time to become the 2nd nuclear power. But without the poached German scientist the U.S. would take longer to develop ballistic missle technology.
Japan would seek an alliance with the U.S.G and dominate Asia ruthlessly. Japan would eventually be the 3rd super power.
So, instead of what we had with Hitler....U.S.A, U.S.S.R and China superpowers we would have had U.S.G , U.S.A and The Japanese Empire superpowers. I believe this is a far worse world than what we have now.
What's your scenario?
