I think the last century’s wars might have all taken some benefit from being fought with chainsaws on both sides. The Battle of the Somme would have been awesome! I’d also favor swapping in anvils in place of incendiaries and high explosives for the purposes of aerial bombardment, and am confident further that von Braun could have developed a long-range catapult capable of lobbing huge boulders across the Channel (“You never hear the one that gets you”).

My thanks for an entertaining counterfactual. We Americans are a simple, generous, impulsive, heavily-armed people.

cordially,
