All right see reading Shmoop er's got another fine piece

00:06

of writing for you here Let's zip down to the

00:08

question let's Say they're asking you what would have been

00:11

a likely effect had ulcers plan succeeded Well we got

00:18

to go back and read the plan for weaken noodle

00:20

here right In the early months of the outbreak of

00:22

world war two one man came up with a plan

00:24

for monster gazelles are painstakingly chill the way it is

00:26

still in pillar in auditorium in germany It was the

00:28

place adolf hitler returned to each year to give commemorative

00:31

speech And from twenty three and thirty nine fewer never

00:34

missed an appointment inside this stone cut out I've been

00:36

placed a clock that ran backwards when the time arrives

00:38

Precisely nine Twenty p m a bomb would be activated

00:40

A temple in off elsewhere hoped safely in switzerland Contraption

00:44

worked resulting in the detonation in the hall But the

00:47

furies and would not come it elster's and the last

00:49

minute change of plans Hitler had started his speech thirty

00:52

minutes early and returned home via train that's escaping the

00:54

attempt on his life So what The implications would have

00:57

been a likely effect had elster's plan succeeded Well maybe

01:00

he could have stopped World war two would've been nice

01:02

but they're like eighty more hitler's in line behind him

01:05

The cause and effect aspect of this Question is implied

01:09

If elster's plan had worked well enough hitler would have

01:12

been successfully assassinated without hitler It's likely world war two

01:16

would've ended much more quickly so let's see the wrong

01:19

answers here Well swiss citizens might have celebrated elsewhere is

01:22

a hero his bomb and take now the fewer however

01:25

because which one was neutral during the war like you're

01:27

always neutral in ever fight it's Certainly not something we

01:30

can presume from the passage alone Also elser was a

01:33

bit too late to have his contraption stop hitler from

01:35

coming to power like it was already in power right

01:38

well see and then see elster's plan was for the

01:41

bomb to kill hitler So not building a bomb wasn't

01:44

an option for him so yeah it's a elsewhere might

01:47

stop world war two in Oh but for those swiss 00:01:50.516 --> [endTime] clocks all right well that's it We're shmoop
