As the Carthaginians weren't conquerors in the same sense as the Romans were.My guess is that they'd spread their culture through commerce instead of conquering. Europe today would probably have a lot more Semetic influence as a result of their commercial empire spreading wherever it could find customers and traders.

Fuck Carthage, Romans did nothing wrong.

It's more cut and paste good vs bad (and I hate using those words) with WW2, but WW1 was just so complicated on all fronts.>WW2>being more cut and dry than WW1Somebody doesn't know his history.There's literally one good guy in WW2, and Britain declared war on them to appease the Soviets.

Germany did.Even though I said I was kind of joking, this is precisely my thought. While the Nazi Party was taken out of power and almost entirely crushed, the Germans were the ones to suffer, for the second time in the century. The Germans are continuing to this day.
