Mexico takes over the USA.
Mexarica takes over Canada.
Blessed by the unholy triumvirate of Tex-Mex, Chicago style Pizza, and Tim Hortons, Canmexerica conquers the Americas, Tahiti, and North Korea. Northcanmexerica, now an unstoppable culinary juggernaut, led by Field Marshall Connie "GreatKhan" mcFrazzled, goes Mongol and retakes the known world.

It doesn't matter. China owns the US so in 5 years we will all be needing to learn to speak Chinese and I'll be getting paid in Yen, not US dollars.
So in order to annex Canada we'd have to do so with force, (not hard considering Tx alone could take Canada by force) or borrow from the Chinese government and buy Canada, which results in China owning even more of the US.
Grim dark times ahead for the US of A.

Generally war isn't meant to bring an end to conflict. That's an aberrant, modern notion perpetuated by WWII.

So? Even China cannot stand next to the combined might of Tex-mex/Chicago style pizza/Tim Hortons and an NK dish to be named later. No culinary power could withstand such delectation.

What? So Germany got screwed over after WWI? Boo-hoo!
They lost - them's the breaks. That doesn't give them carte blanche to massacre jews and invade other people's countries. It's very easy to say that people were forced into perpetrating heinous acts and had no choice, in hindsight. But it IS worth remembering that Hitler rode to power on a wave of massive public support - it was like beatlemania. He capitalised on the simmering fear and hatred prevalent in German society at the time - people gleefully persecuted Jews in Nazi Germany.

Fix'd for you. You when it stopped overtly happening? Around 1946.

Romans kicked them out before Theodosius I and the conversion to "Christianity"

Yes I know a sneaky edit, but no, Constantine promoted it but it was Theodosius I who made it the official religion.

Yeah, Constantine held the council of Nicaea though. And he was the first Emperor to convert (which is what I thought you refering to).
But regardless, Jesus was a Christian! Or at least his followers were. So I reject your definition of pre-Christianity! Bwa ha ha!

The Off Topic Forum works in mysterious ways, but I think it went Remembrance -> WW1 -> WW2 -> The Holocaust -> Early Jewish Persecution -> Jews in Pre-Christian Europe -> Roman Conflict with Israel -> Roman Emperors and their Contribution to the Success of Christianity -> Definition of Christian and What Times Could Legitimately be Called Pre-Christian.

Oh, Jews suffered persecution in Britain at times, for sure.
My point is that when Jews where being evicted from their homes and businesses in Nazi Germany, people willingly participated. Anti-Jewish feeling was the rule, not the exception.

Anti Jewish feeling was the rule ANYWAY in ALL OF EUROPE for all of the Middle Ages.
Only place they got gak done was in the Ottoman Empire, because it actually protected religious traders.
