Would that it were possible. But the "world" didn't react against the funny mustache. Half of Europe sided or sympathized with funny mustache. So did Comrade Stalin at the start. So did China, Japan, along with some unofficial but sympathetic leanings in South America. And don't forget the little country in Southeast Asia that through Japan was an ally/friend of the funny mustache. Now, a lot of those same countries that sided with the mustache in the 1930s are lining up behind the Big Panda in 2019.

 

This is true.

That's some nice bit of historical revisionism. In reality, the point was that the world did not stand up to that guy, until it was (almost) too late.

but stand up they did, nonetheless.
