Yeah, what were we thinking helping the French anyway? The Kaiser wasn't so bad. He was probably just irritated to death by all that BO from those smelly Frenchmen wafting over the border into his country. I'd attack France if I could, too. I'd probably win with just a couple of handfuls of grenades and a rocket launcher. The French play dead better than any possum I've ever seen.

See, we let the Kaiser have Europe, then we don't have to deal with Hitler later. He spends his whole life as a failed art student. Probably shoots himself in frustration. But with a strong Germany, he can't ever bully his way into power with his anti-semitic message of blaming everything on the Jews.

Then instead of fighting two World Wars, we fight none. We make peace with the Kaiser after he takes Europe and say "Look, you know and we know that we could have kicked your butt if we had wanted to, so don't be pissing us off now." So we get a unified Europe so we don't have to learn the names of all the silly little countries crammed into that little space, and we get some decent cars coming out of Paris for the first time in like, ever.
