Conditional question
Are these sentences 100% interchangeable? Both stylistically equal?
If there had been no war, I would be back home.
Had there been no war, I would be back home.
Cheers:)

Top answer
No two sentences are stylistically equal, since there is a contextual style within which each must fit. I'd call your second sentence slightly more formal or literary.
