Oh granted, but there's lots more to the last century than WWII. And I don't consider WWII a US war anyway - in its origins, at least.
But the US speaking German rather than English would have meant a big difference in the attitudes of other countries to the US throughout the century, regardless of ideologies. It would have changed the ongoing US/Britain perception of kinship, for one; just in recent years, for instance, what would that have done to the "Coalition of the Willing"?
