    I’m not that familiar with US history, but isn’t the New Deal about the 90% tax on the rich?

    And about China, it seemed to be a devastated country at the time, which took the wrong turn. WTF Social Credit, HK, etc…

      Yeah, we’ll never know. All 3 would be different. Another one is if America had lost it’s revolution. Would England have been the Empire to end all empires?

        When the queen died and Charles took the throne and visited the common wealth countries, that’s what’s left from the empire. The US took one step further, but i’m not sure it would have stayed that powerful.

        And with the decline of the US we are seeing, it’s like another empire ending.

        Empires rise and die.
