What if?

What if two forms of highly intelligent life evolved on Earth?

If there were another highly intelligent life evolved on earth, the world would be considerably different. The population might be twice as big yet there would still be limited natural resources. Discrimination may be a huge concern between the two creatures and their dissimilarities could lead to a destructive war. Still, being optimistic, these two forms of intellectual creatures may use their intelligence to cooperate, creating a great civilization.

What if the U.S. and its allies had lost in WWII?

If the United States and its allies had been defeated in WWII, the currently powerful hegemon would be in a different position. The U.S., much as Japan and Germany, may have had to spend considerable time recovering from the war. The greatest nation in this day might be Germany and the universal language may have been German or Japanese. The World Trade Center in New York might have not been rebuilt because terrorists would have targeted Berlin or Tokyo.
