World War II - Have Historians Envisioned How The Axis Powers Might Have Won? @TomAu: The area of the 3 countries may have been conquerable by Nazi Germany in a short period of time, but those countries are much much further away than the Soviet Union (Berlin to Moscow is 1200 miles compared to 3000 miles from Berlin to Tehran). Britain also had dominance over the Mediterranean and any Germany army would have been vulnerable to attack from that direction. It's very hard to maintain such long supply chains. |

Did any of the US States ever attempt to secede, aside from American Civil War times? Not a state but a town attempted to secede in 1850. It's a rather amusing story en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… |

What were the reasons for the Renaissance / scientific revolution in Europe? After digging a bit deeper, I agree. I've modified the question |

Why Canada failed to emerge as a power like UK or France? Continuing from above - Thus I don't think you can say (without further study) that Canada is not a world power because of it's population. The reasons may have a lot to do with the fact that Canadian foreign policy was under British domination until the 1920s for example or that Canada didn't have much room to become a regional power because of the vastly more powerful US in the south. |

Why Canada failed to emerge as a power like UK or France? @Jefromi: The Dutch population in the 1600s was ~1.7 million (faculty.history.wisc.edu/sommerville/351/dutch%20republic.htm) while England's was ~5 million (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/…) - slightly better ratio ~(3:1 vs 4:1) than today but not too different. The Mughal Empire's (India) population was ~150 million (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mughal_Empire). I'm not saying population isn't important - I mean, if you have a population of say 1000, you're not going to have any relative importance but it's not the sole factor |

Why Did the US Drop Nuclear Weapons on a Weakened Japan Probably preventing any significant Soviet occupation of Japan was also a big reason why the US wanted a quick surrender lending impetus to the decision to use the bomb |

Why is Che Guevara so famous? While I'm no fan of Che, regarding racism, it's worth reading this wiki article which imo gives a broader perspective en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Che_Guevara_and_race |

Did Germany have treaties imposed upon it after WWII that mirrored the weight of the Treaty of Versailles? @canadiancreed All of what I said can be found on this wikipedia article but collecting more official sources or snipping the right bits from the wiki article would take time that I don't have en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Germany_(1945%E2%80%931990) Plus, OP asked whether the terms "felt" humiliating and I don't know the answer to that. |

Did Germany have treaties imposed upon it after WWII that mirrored the weight of the Treaty of Versailles? The terms were certainly harsher - I mean Germany had to surrender unconditionally (instead of having the chance to negotiate terms), was divided into 2, lost substantial territory in the East to Poland, had debilitating restrictions placed on it for a period of 2 years after the war (Morgentheau plan), was forced to pay bigger war reparations than after WWI, was subject to a lengthy post-war occupation, etc. What did go differently was that West Germany experienced the German economic miracle in the 50s which meant the democratic system put in place had a chance to stabilize. |
