The Great War

For a long time after World War I the war was referred to by many as the Great War, meaning that it involved more nations and people than had any other war up to that time.

Re: Suppose God allowed you to try to change history by killing Hitler?

I can think of two situations where killing Hitler might have made things worse. Hitler made mistakes which helped lead to his defeat.
