You missed the point completly
. So America and Great Britain won World War II all by themselves then? Do a bit of research and you'll find that they were'nt the only countries that fought against the Germans and the Japanese.

There might be. James Holden came over from England and made bodies for GM in the 20s then making the first Holden in 1948 (I cant remember the full story and I cant be bothered looking through my Holden book)

Would women have the right to vote? Would there still be slavery? Would Texas be a Country? Would there be a France? Would Europe be under Nazi or Soviet Rule or both? Would people in Australia be speaking Japanese? Would K-Mart exist? (www.kmart.com www.kmart.com.au) Would we have the Internet? Would we have freedom of speech?

I had to give this one some thought. I had to get my head around it first ~
Anyway, what about slavery? What if Africans had been left in Africa? I don't know that racial tensions would be much different - people will always find superficial reasons to hate and fear each other. But what kind of devlopments would have occurred if the Dark Continent had been left alone?
I have to agree with vat - someone would have colonized America if the English hadn't. Maybe we'd be France Jr. Maybe there would have been a second French Revolution.
I think Australia would be more or less the same. The English would still need a place to stow their felons ~

Yeah yeah - here's $5, buy a new joke.
Seriously though - it's an interesting point. I really wonder if Britain's interest here would have been as much if they'd maintained a colony in the US, rather than the US going down the road of independance. If there had been a European battle over the north American continent, I wonder if Australia might have shed its links to Britain earlier and become more independant - whcih leaves the interesting question of what would have happened when Japan started its expansion in WW2.

You'd all be speaking Japanese right now. J/K
Hey, maybe we'd become the penal colony.
BTW, have you ever heard Bill Hicks' routine on Australia?

But England would've had 70% of the world's landmass. They would have all of the US(face it, they would've beaten the French, and the Spanish were bankrupt), and England would probably still be the leaders of the world commerically, militarily, and population-wise. So, I guess it would suck, because they'd force their puritan religion upon the whole world....

Um, before the US, people liked Africans because they were considered rare and exotic. So I think racial tensions would be a lot less tense...

Do I need to post anymore links about other questions I asked?
Who cares about the RS Focus! Would we want K-Mart to exist?

Yeah, and they also worked for cheap. That's why they were ferried over by the hundreds. My statement was a general one: People will always fear what is unfamiliar. It doesn't necessarily have anything to do with race.
Another thing: the Puritans left England 'cos they couldn't get along. So, they were too hardcore for the Church of England. I wouldn't blame the English for Puritanism in that case.
But...the US was started by religious fanatics who killed and plundered in the name of God...sound familiar? It certainly goes a long way toward explaining our problems....

Real quick, going back to your question, if you believe the links you posted, why do you think your question has any relevance in regard to the topic?
No really don't believe in those links that I have post just went to www.dogpile.com, and searched for when the nations of the world ended slavery. Couldn't find anything other than the liberal spew about ending illegal slavery. Oh well sorry I confused you. Just need to teach the people of this world that God gave people free will, and their lives are not run by fate. I wonder if K-Mart in Australia is bankrupt like in the K-Mart in the U.S. ??? and there would be no Ford Focus SVT, ZX3, ZX5, RS, Wagon, Sedan, CL, LX, Ghia, Zetec, ST170, C-Max, Ebony, MP3, Elle, Flight, etc, etc. How many Ford Focus models are there sheesh!
