Could the Confederacy have won the civil war?
Answer? Nope.
The South could not have won. The North had more men, And troops. Though there is not a doubt there were close calls, They could not have won overall. Wasington had became the most fortified city on the planet by the time Lee launched his offensive.
Though by 1865 Union casalties skyrocketted.

Hiroshima & Nagasaki: Warcrimes or neccisary?
The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki occured on 6–9 August 1945. 90,000–166,000 people in Hiroshima and 60,000–80,000 were killed. The first half of casalties instantly. Now my question to you is: Do you think it was a war crime?
I honestly don't. If we're counting numbers here, The firebombings of Japan killed more people. And X-Day would have killed a estimated 11-14M Japanese + Americans. This was the quickest way to end the war. Also, If the two bombs had not been dropped, We probably would've used it somewhere else. A worse place.

Could Germany have won World War 1?
MittelAfrika
MittelEuropa
Yes, We all know history. World War 1 broke out when the Austrian Archduke was assassinated. Now how do you think would the world be if Germany had won? Honestly,Germany could have easily won World War One. They almost did, Too.
German plans for After the war:
The Germans DID have plans at the beginning of the war for the West, But were quickly scrapped when the war became a deadlock in the West.
