It will eventually, only China will remain, both US and Europe will collapse.

unlikely considering our part of the world is very quite... if it happens anyway, I think the economy will have a mayor sitback.

More likely it would go down as North Korea attacks South Korea, the U.S. pulls a bunch of guys out of Iraq or uses the draft and sends a massive army up into North Korea, and then North Korea is pissed and threatens to fire missiles at California... that explode on the launch pad.

That's an interesting question, we would probably pull out of Iraq pronto and quit giving them aid, cut off aid to a bunch of other nations, and hopefully fire all the stupid bureaucratic pencil pushers who have no purpose other than when you call the government asking for help to direct you to another pencil pusher, and then them to another. Then again though we're all so fat and lazy we'd probably elect whoever offered us the most hand-outs and goverment would just become more bloated, and there would be even more worthless pencil pushers who are totally overpaid.

In addition since the world's largest consumer just became extremely poor there woud probably be a global recession.

No more French Wine.

What if the worlds largest supervolcano under Yellowstone Park erupted

I hope everyone enjoys acid rain, and for that matter my arse would probably be incinerated seeing as how I live in Colorado.

What if the internet was forbidden and/or censored by a country

It already has been censored big time-- its called China. And I want to say there is an African country that banned it, because I know they refuse to educate kids in public schools about the existence of Europe, America, and Australia because we are "evil and immoral", so I doubt they would let people use the interenet, because you all know what that would mean...

Coal baby, straightup

I may be wrong but doesnt corperat facitsts contradict each other.

First if one economic power fell like Europe or the US thens will go bad. China depends on stuff from them and we depend on them to make it for us. North Korea would def lose against America, even you guys have troops stationed all over the world you guys have the most nukes plus so many secret weapons just awaitng to be brought into public eye. Facist has nothing to do with this. Facist is where you say represent your national pride such as white nationalisim. Corporates are far from nationalists for they like controlling every single person out there from a black, jewish, arab, chinese, white you name it they dont care what you are they just want to make money off of you. I know nothing of this super volcano first time i heard of it going to do some research. Here in Canada we could survive without oil we have ethanol but we are to lazy and have invested to much money into oil sands.



I just of this think of a supervolcano as a pimpal waiting to pop. Now say what would happen if the world core exploded...

[Mormacil]

Yellowstone regular eruption is 2000 years over time... I think it can go any moment.

How about some more positive ones then. I must have had a bad day or something.

What if WWII never happened
What if, considering WWII did happen, Japan never bombed Pearl Harbor
What if Communism lost in Russia
What if Alternative Energy put all oil companies out of buisness. Would there be a big boost in unemployment?
What if Prohibition was reinstated
What if Hitler never came into power in Germany

Sorry if these are WWII centered, but it's what's stuck in my mind for History Class.

Most of these you may have some positive thoughts on, but keep in mind some of these bad things opened everyone's eyes to the big issues of the world. Some of them are totally pointless and only need one simple answer.

And why would this thread need to be locked? I've seen worse getting away on these forums.

1: Uhhhmmmm, lemme think.... there's a lot of different ways that could play out.... too many of them depend on more "what ifs".
2: Maybe America wouldn't have gotten involved for a little while longer?
3: I haven't studied that much, so I dunno.
4: Unemployment, probably a lot of freaking out, stock market messing up (for anyone who had shares invested in the companies)
5: Illegal drinking.
6: I'd get less racist jokes about my heritage I think. (I am part German, I don't know what percentage.)

[Mormacil]

Those WW2 centered ones have to big an impact to really tell...

[IAMTHEEMPEROR]

Ok, here's what I think to my own questions:

1: Ummmm, you're right, that was a bad question.....

2: The U.S. would probably have never entered the war at all. The Axis powers would stand a good chance of victory in Europe, and would hold a complete Totalitarian regime throughout Europe and most of Asia probably. Hitler, being power-crazy, would probably turn on Italy and/or Japan as he did Russia in an attempt to gain complete control. Then, The Axis Powers would press on to take all African and Asian colonies for itself. And, if the Zimmerman Telegram was never found, Hitler would then proceed to help Mexico wage war with the U.S. and reclaim it's lost territories, pretty much the entire southwest and Texas. Seing as the U.S. would obviously want to take The Axis powers down, would want to fight them, but at that time the Axis powers would have the strongest army in the world, and the U.S and Canada would be easily overrun. Then the world would be under Nazi control for a long time. By the time of Hitler's death, however, it would serve an opportunity for those countries with bitter feelings over being conquered to rebel, and the Nazi Empire would be shaken and pushed back. In a final effort, they would be driven straight back into Europe, as they were unprepared for war. Then would come the defeat, and the Nazi's would be no more.

3: If communism lost in Russia, they would continue to be an autocratic state under leadership of the Czar. It would still be impoverished and in no condition for the assaults during WWII. The Nazi's would have indeed caught Russia off-guard and overun them, giving them time to press on back to France and gain a stable foothold there. But in the end, after the U.S. enters the war, the Nazis would be driven back to Germany. However, during the war before the U.S. stepped in, Japan would have made a move to conquer the other side of Russia and keep it's territories. After that, today Russia would be a weak country with a pretty smaller size than today, and the Cold War would never have happened, leaving the U.S. as the only world superpower.

4: It would seem like a good thing at first, but there would be many lay-offs. Those people who still drive cars that need gassoline would need to pay a lot more to drive, and travel would be impossible for them. Those who had shares in the Stock Market for oil companies would be broke, and our nation would become poorer. After this, another "mini"-depression would start and damage the entire world's economy. Just damage, not destroy, but this shows our huge reliance on fossil fules.

5: Not just illegal drinking, but once again more organized crime centered on illegal alcohol would start, and groups like the Mafia would come upon more power. Even the Irish Mafia could start up again. Then the unreliable methods of the 1920's would come into use for alcohol production, and the sicknesses caused by the dangerous ingredients used to easily make illegal alcohol would cause many deaths, and anyone who is a big alcoholic today would die due to over drinking and consumption of toxins.

6: That's a bad question too, I really don't know.
