If the USA had stayed out of it (and we very nearly did -- read about the "America First" movement) it is quite probable as they cliche says, that most of Europe would speak German. But as history turned out, much of Europe speaks English, at least as a second language. It's an interesting "what if?" topic of conjecture whether they'd have been any worse off had the Nazis prevailed, one or two ethic groups excepted of course. 😎 History is very odd, like why did we side with the Soviet Union? Even pre-WW II it was apparent to anyone who dared look (excludes the Left, then and since) that it was already one of the most bloodthirsty regimes in modern history, the equal of atrocities against its own citizens on a scale comparable to what the Germans went on to do. Another hidden tidbit of WW II history is the possibility that Stalin was planning to invade Western Europe, forcing Hitler's hand to invade them preemptively. There are many troubling questions in history, several of which various entities who must not be named 🤫 earnestly hope be not too deeply investigated, even nearly a century later.
