Throw Back Thurday: Karoline Leavitt said, If Not For The US Entry Into WWII, France Would Be Speaking German

Well, NO. It is generally accepted that the Allies would have prevailed over Germany and Italy in Europe without American intervention. But yes it would have taken longer, cost more money, and cost far more lives. 

But now, let's consider our relationship with France. France is our oldest ally. It is also generally accepted that without French arms, money, and personnel, the Colonies very likely would have lost the Revolutionary War to the British and remained colonies. So what does that mean? Well, what comprises the portion of the United States east of the Mississippi would now be part of: CANADA! And we would be eating poutine instead of cheese curds. Lafayette, we are here!

And without the United States, there would have been no Louisiana Purchase. So that third of the current US, west of the Mississippi, would be Louisiana. And we would be drinking cognac instead of Old Mister Boston brandy and we would be speaking FRENCH!

And the great state of Texas, the beautiful southwest, and most of the west coast? Well, it would be a dream come true. There would be no border problem because the current border would be in the MIDDLE of MEXICO. There would be no taco trucks because every restaurant would be a Mexican restaurant. And Corona would be the beer of choice instead of Bud Lite. And we would all be speaking SPANISH!

 And as long we are playing with history and you hold to Leavitt's incredulous statement, here's an idea on how it would have been in post-war England if the Germans had won: Len Deighton's SS-GB
