Along the way, The Entire Spanish invasion force met a PERFECT STORM an act of God once in a life time westher anomaly, great Britain's more inferiror navy was able to escape the invasion and proceeded instead to hide in the new colony which is North America.
You see if not for the storm that destroyed half the Spanish Invssion force, Great Britiaiin wouldnt have been an empire, How did they become an empire, it's because of the trade route they made between North America and Asia and Europe or. Or popularly known as the British East India Company, It also paved the way to modern martime trading as well as the stock market.
i read history like that folks, and nothing will change my mind that if not for Hitler, we wont have what we have now,
Case in point, the German technology, missiles and rrockets, jet propulsion as well as the mass migration of German top scientists after the war to the US.
hitler was a unifying force to bring all the best minds of Europe to the 20th century.

And yes *Jun if not for Nazi Germany in the middle, Stalin would have overrun the entire european continent. The biggest casualty of world war 2 in the Atlantic front were the Russians, around 50M of them Imagine if that 50M went on a rampage and checked the Euro continent, then the history of the world is that we are probably communists right now,
Remember Spain never got involved in World War 2, they were just waiting for Stalin to meetup in France, for the new world order.
So we have to thank the Germans for that
