so ferguson writes the counterfactual saying what would have happened if britain would d have stayed out? well, you know, the germans probably would have succeeded in conquering france that they did that in 1940 under a much nastier regime, and europe survive to. moreover he points out that one of the aims that kaiser wilhelm had when he started the war was to establish a common european customs union, which germany, because of its economic strength, was in effect dominating and ferguson asked, isn't that what the european economy is today? so you can imagine all sorts of counterfactual histories. i do find it hard to imagine a counterfactual history that is as disastrous as what did result, not just the 20 million deaths from the first world war but the much greater number of deaths from the second world war and it's almost impossible to imagine the second world war happening without the first. yeah, yeah, sure. >> can you elaborate a bit on the impact of the united states entry into the war? >> okay, the question was to elaborate on the impact of the united states entry to the war.
