Probably not, as far as weapon systems go we would be much less advanced. War is, as morbid as it sounds, good for progress.

Same thing as with the Dark Ages, had it not been for the dumb pricks in the Catholic Church who forbade any sort of scientific learning or experiments, we'd be well and truly in space by now, not just a select few from NASA and the ultra rich, but all of us would have the chance to go out there. Perhaps even the Moon and Mars would be colonised by now ?? Who knows.
