But where would our world be without WWII and its aftermath? Would WWII still have happened even if you killed baby Hitler? There were plenty just like him, if not worse.
Arguments can be made that, at least technologically, we'd be much further behind. Perhaps socially as well, as we saw the actual outcome of scapegoating a whole culture, mass genocide, the entire world (mostly) brought together in a common goal, etc..
As horrific as the whole scenario was, WWII forced us ahead in many ways.
