You must understand, the "European balance of power" is more important than the integrity of the British empire!!
>>
>>18022135
Who was Prime Minister of the UK on 3rd September 1939 anon?
>>
>>18022135
I’m sure Hitler would never lie and invade British domains just like he hasn’t lied about 30 other promises
>>
>>18022143
Since we have the luxury of hindsight, we now know that indeed, Hitler sought to avoid war with the British.
>>
>>18022141
Why are stormtags like this, what do they even gain by blaming Churchill as opposed to Chamberlain? Are they aware of Daladier's existence?
>>
>>18022135
empire was on its way out before ww2, ww1 already caused massive financial strain and administering these far away lands were very costly.
>>
>>18022146
>sought to avoid war with the British
>did the thing Britain told him would inevitably lead to war
>still continued to do the thing even when offered an out
>Britain declares war
>surprised Pikachu
>>
>>18022149
Because they are very very stupid and have only a paper thin knowledge of WW2 beyond memorising the number of rivets on a panzer 3 hull and dumping their folder of based holocaust memes.
>>
>>18022154
That is correct, his gamble on Poland was a mistake. At the same time, we know he would not attack territory directly controlled by the British, since that would obviously lead to war, not even a gamble
>>
>>18022153
>administering these far away lands were very costly
How? The Brits were looting the colonies dry, though?
>>
>>18022161
It costs money to police, then you have goods you have to transport, those colonies needed alot of welfare
>>
>>18022154
Hitler believed von Ribbentrop who was adamant that the British would not declare war. It was admittedly pretty dumb of Hitler, since von Ribbentrop already was considered an incompetent retard by his contemporary diplomats but Hitler still trusted him.
>>
>>18022153
>ww1 already caused massive financial strain
Then keep that in mind and try not to go to war over Danzig, maybe?
>>
I never understood why they broke the stresa front .
>>
>>18022164
Ribbentrop had an IQ of 129 per the Nuremberg tests.
And he was able to draft this speech, which a lot of zoomies who are in university right now wouldn't even dare read from top to bottom: https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Address_by_Joachim_von_Ribbentrop_to_diplomatic_and_press_representatives_in_Berlin_on_April_10,_1940,_explaining_the_German_invasion_of_Norway

Why are Anglo nationalists so saddened by the fact that they don't own India or Nigeria anymore?
I genuinely don't get it.
Empires are inherently globohomo.
>>
>>18022166
So abandon their treaties and destroy all trust with the global world?
>>
>>18022168
>supposed high iq
>commits blunders even a kindergarten student wouldn't make
>>
>>18022176
Goes to show how what a fake stat IQ really is.
>>
>>18022172
The same reason any nationalist is saddened by the loss of their country's historic empire. They can no longer parasocially benefit from deriving their identity from the greatness and superiority of their nation, even if the Empire does not actually benefit them personally.
>>
>>18022172
Which Anglo nationalists are saddened by the fact that they don't own India or Nigeria? Name names.
>>
>>18022175
Germans and shitskins pretending to be Germans genuinely are baffled at the concept of doing something because your promised to do it, aren't they?
>>
>>18022176
Kind of senseless to say "even a kindergarten student wouldn't make" because you wouldn't put a kid in charge of stately matters anyway

In WW1, it would have been possible for Germany to avoid war with the UK by refraining from invading Belgium or France, so it wasn't unreasonable to believe that the war could be circumscribed to the East in 1939 as well
>>
>>18022186
Germans did the same thing in ww1, they sided with austria despite knowing the whole thing was shitshow.
>>
>Muh French, British ultimatum!!
What if it was a big bluff, though.
Ribbentrop was justified in rolling the dice of gamble. When the stakes are this high, and in the big Statesmen leagues, one has to take oft epic gambles, the realms aren't forged by meek submissions, but outright vigorous enterprise.
>>
>>18022187
Sorry for your diagnosis.
>>
>>18022192
He rolled the dice and Germany reaped the whirlwind. Was it worth it anon?
>>
>>18022182
Schopenhauer was a conservative who welcomed the Austrian military that had come to Frankfurt to quell the 1848 rebellion, and back then "nationalism" was an essentially left-wing movement where one would swear that they're only loyal to the people, not to the king or duke.
Look into the historical background behind the Deutschlandlied to learn more on the matter
>>
>>18022193
Oh, petty insults, how fascinating.
Speaking of kindergarteners
>>
>>18022187
>because you wouldn't put a kid in charge of stately matters anyway
Mussolini, Yammato, Goering, Himmler (as Army Command Vistula, I think) in early 1945, Semyon Budyonny.... The list is long.
>>

>When the stakes are this high, and in the big Statesmen leagues, one has to take oft epic gambles, the realms aren't forged by meek submissions, but outright vigorous enterprise.
What a fucking retarded way of thinking.

Hindsight is always 20/20.
Yes, corruption and nepotism exist, but political gambles do not equate to being intellectually impaired.
As a parenthesis, by the time Himmler was put in charge of military affairs, the war had long been lost.
And to go back to Ribbentrop, it's undeniable that a major contribution in Germany's defeat was the breach of that famous pact that he had every intention to see respect
>>
>>18022204
If they (these millions of people in question) were actually good, they'd win; if not, they don't deserve the right to exist anyway and would be extinguished by the ruthless and harsh, but fair & just law of the survival of the fittest.

Can somebody explain how exactly britain was supposed to keep the empire long term even if they’d avoided WW2 entirely?

>commonwealth nations like Canada, Australia and New Zealand were devolving into self governing territories regardless and would thus persue their own self interest
>regions like India were so massively populated it would be impossible to maintain control if the locals just decided they no longer wanted it (which is what happened)
>tech advances plus geopolitics meant modern guns would be available to countless rebels if britain tried to crack down

They couldn’t force Ireland to remain in the UK, but somehow its Churchill’s fault the British empire isn’t still around?

>tismo posting continues
>>
>>18022585
>if the locals just decided they no longer wanted it
This is the point. The truth is all colonialism relies on at least some popular support and legitimacy, and having supreme power projection + economy fuels that support.
The British Empire was the top naval power in the world in the interwar period, but by 1945 its navy was destroyed(along with every other non-American navy) and its people were starving. And so the empire's legitimacy across its territories eroded.
>>
>>18022595
Thanks for the update
>>
>>18022598
This becomes a moot point regardless of whether they declared war against Germany

A) Japan was empire building in the pacific and would challenge British and French hegemony there

B) America was inevitable in its rise as a global military superpower and ideologically opposed the European empires existence and encouraged free trade over protectionist empires

C) rise of communism in the Soviet Union and later China created endless support for nationalist uprisings. Even if the nationalists aren’t exactly commies, they will take what support they can get, like the Vietnamese rebels

Regardless of whether britain actually weakened, the rise of other strong players made the pax Britannica no longer viable.

Likewise, in a really long term way of looking at things. The British political identity was not conducive to endless subjugation

Just look at every one of the major independence leaders. They were all educated in London universities, paid for by the British.

If Britain denied higher education to all colonial subjects and just tried to treat them like cattle they’d have lasted longer. But that was genuinely not in the British character. They genuinely sought to uplift regions as they saw it.

Part of this is inevitability leading to self rule (although even those at the time who thought this would have preferred they all remain in an actual meaningful commonwealth of integrated economies and militaries etc)
>>
>>18022620
I would say even when we assume Pax Britannica was coming to an end, it would have been better for Britain to avoid war. This way they would still have a navy, and not starve.
Of course they didn't have the luxury of hindsight like we have. We know Hitler didn't want war with the west, but they didn't, so to them declaring war on Germany had as much to do with defending their own backyard as their imperial aspirations.
>>
>>18022172
They aren't, these people aren't British.
>>18022559
That was already the case during the empire, all people born within it's and the wider commonwealths borders were full British citizens, at least until Harold Wilson changed the law. This wasn't a new thing, but had been the considered the case since the start of the empire
>>
>>18022630
Having a navy isn’t as useful as you’d think given you need to be able to supply it and replace it entirely every 10-15 years just to keep up with others

Likewise, after WW1 and the sacrifices British people made they demanded much more democracy. Part of this leads to demanding more welfare which means less money for military stuff
>>
>>18022172
I’ve never talked to a single British person who cared. Seems to mainly be butthurt mainland Europeans with an inferiority complex
>>
>>18022638
>Having a navy isn’t as useful as you’d think given you need to be able to supply it and replace it entirely every 10-15 years just to keep up with others
It would also keep you from being an American vassal
>>18022638
>Likewise, after WW1 and the sacrifices British people made they demanded much more democracy. Part of this leads to demanding more welfare which means less money for military stuff
Which lead to the Washington Naval Treaty, enabling conservative military spending while keeping Britain as a top dog. Did Japan eventually break off? Yes, but it brought 10 years of essentially frozen naval classes.
>>
>>18022630
>This way they would still have a navy
They still have a navy, the 4th largest in the world (3rd when you remember half the russian navy is rusted to death)
>and not starve
Britain didn't starve. Even with rationing the average calorie intake was higher than the average continental pre war standard.
>We know Hitler didn't want war with the west
We know Hitler wanted war with France, and he fantasised about war with the USA.
>had as much to do with defending their own backyard
What's the problem with that?
>>
>>18022643
True, but good luck convincing the British voters to not get healthcare and housing because the alternative is being an american vassal which would lead to largely keeping the same foreign policy anyway
>>
>>18022630
For a guy who didn’t want war with the west it’s odd he did the one thing they told him not to do because it would lead to war with the west

We live in 2025 where naval powers aren't as critical as back then. In reality the UK's only imposing threat today is their nukes. This applies to France too.
>Britain didn't starve. Even with rationing the average calorie intake was higher than the average continental pre war standard.
Post-war conditions had a profound impact on British society. They worship food banks to this day
>We know Hitler wanted war with France, and he fantasised about war with the USA.
We know Hitler's agenda was specifically about avoiding war with the west.
>What's the problem with that?
None, I defend their motivations due to their lack of hindsight
>>18022652
People lie. Putin has been saying we're on the brink of nuclear war for 11 years now.
Hitler gambled and got it wrong.
>>
>>18022659
>We live in 2025 where naval powers aren't as critical as back then.
Naval power is beyond critical retard. The majority of trade is conducted by sea and international communication is dependent on a number of undersea cables.
>the UK's only imposing threat today is their nukes. This applies to France too
Half agree, but only because nukes blow everything else out of the water. The UK and France still both have the capability to act worldwide, which puts them far above most countries. They're only weak when compared to the US or China.
>Post-war conditions had a profound impact on British society. They worship food banks to this day
an absurd claim
>We know Hitler's agenda was specifically about avoiding war with the west.
Yes, the east was his focus. But he still talked about recovering Lorraine and even making a protectorate of the Netherlands in his speeches. Sooner or later it would come around.
>>
>>18022135
War is expensive and wasteful. It's almost as if we should avoid it at all costs.
>>
>>18022669
It’s so bizarre to me that people take hitlers word that he wouldn’t turn on the western powers once he’d conquered the east and thus turned Germany into a superpower with the resources to rival America.

All they’d do is build up for a decade or two, why the fuck would their militaristic society that worships conquest not keep going from there?

This is even ignoring their actual allies like Italy and Japan getting them pulled into entanglements when they would want to build up their own empires by picking apart France and Britains

But Hitler didnt lie about anything.
>when offered an out
Hitler offered to withdraw all German forces from everywhere but Danzig, Britain declined.
The British leadership had been, just like they are today, and like the Americans are as well, lobbied by organized jewry such as samuel untermeyer and henry strakosh.
organized jewry wanted the war, they were working tirelessly according to their own words to drag the democracies into war with Germany.

We KNOW this happened.
Read Hiltons 'Imperial Obituary".
It was the jews in a way that /pol/ could hardly imagine, jews used WWII to dismantle the British Empire, Defeat Liberated Germany, and contain the anti-Trotskyist USSR, while also enriching their assets in America, Ze'ev Jabotinsky relates this to his confidants.
The sixth Rebbe which no one even talks about says the exact same thing but also admits Hitler is the most moral of all the gentile leaders (he said this in 1945 btw).
>>
>>18022153
>empire was on its way out before ww2
Nope. That was never the case. The British Empire was being dismantled from the inside and WWII is what lead to its final dismemberment, it was not only preventable but recoverable.
There wasnt actually any grass roots organized anti-British movement anywhere.
less than 5% of Indians wanted independence, the selling off of assets to America during both wars was completely preventable, but the usual suspects were behind it, the same is true for the shipping away of British gold to America and Russia.

laughable.
>no trust me bro the world is neoliberal at heart
yeah, and Ukraine is going to win running solely on happy thoughts from xitterxisters and not on military assets.

You arent arguing in good faith.
You cant argue in good faith because any reasonable person can see it was pants on head retarded for Britian to go to war and then the logical step thereafter is to ask why? That leads to the discovery of excessive jewish influence in both Britian and America using similar tactics to what we see today.

This will lead to people saying "hmmm maybe Hitler isnt all that bad actually" and then you wont get your trannypills or black people get enslaved (again) or the world will see poles as weak and stupid demi-oinkroids and israel will vanish o algo.
Whatever it is, youre right to be afraid but all your scheming is useless.
After the past two years everyone is wise to jewish tricks, sees slavs as subhumans, and realized there is something weird going on with the narrative about Hitler.

what's irrational? Churchill himself said he lead the war movement in his memoirs.
>>18023201
>they declare
that isnt what they promised.
They promised to protect the integrity of Poland.
They failed to do so.
They promised military support.
they gave none and their command even said "we can not make this treaty because we have no ability to project power into Poland"
They promised to declare war on the enemies of Poland, they didnt, they declared war on Germany not the USSR.
>magically teleport
yeah, retard, they said they would magically teleport to Poland using the mysterious wizardry of the British fleet, and then... they didnt.
thanks for playing Pidor, how's that Article 5 coming again?
Hitler was right about Poles.

Britain not only broke their treaty with Poland they knowingly made the treaty with the intention of breaking it, using Poland as a fall-guy to declare war on Germany and only Germany, not to actually do anything to benefit Poland, Poland also lost MORE land than Germany post war LOOOOL

Britain's navy wasn't destroyed, in fact it expanded greatly during ww2.
The navy was voluntarily mothballed twice, once in ww1 and then in ww2, there were no conspiracy and great war-time destruction of the fleet
The simple fact is that the British economy can't handle it anymore and has been broke since the Depression. Britain was simply living far above its means, to not let go of the shiny battleships and colonies would mean bankruptcies and mass unemployment
>>
>>18024671
You think rationing is the same as starving?
>>
>>18024671
Retard
Energy wise the average Briton actually ate better during the war during rationing than before it, and certainly better than the average German. Rationing continued after the war because the socialist government wanted to prevent rich people buying up all the good stuff for themselves.
West Germany meanwhile DID have food shortages, they just weren't rationed. By comparison east Germany kept up rationing until the 60s.

Retard. The British have been debating churchill's war since 1945. Zoomer historian just tells the history from the more accurate perspective.

He wasn't motivating. The British people were uninterested in the war and opposed it. That only began to change when bombs started landing on cities, a feature that the British military started against Germany.

Ww2 is a massive obfuscation therefore the great heart of the obfuscation is in the United kingdom. It's been schizophrenic ever since.

>>18024954
He demanded Britain take the strongest possible position I.e declare war. Then when they get btfo'd on the French plains in a panic they rely on him. All politics usually eventually goes to the most extreme voice of a position. Churchill as well as the entire establishment had many options in dealing with Hitler. They chose to ignore all peace offers and declare war.

Describe these peace offers?

While it's true that Chamberlain dithered, and had to be convinced by his cabinet to declare war even as German tanks drove into Poland, Churchill had nothing to do with this, he was just a mere backbenchers at the time.

The one on the 28th of August 1939, where Britain offered to organise another Munich like conference to sort out any problems between Germany and Poland.
The one Britain sent on the 3rd of September 1939, where they politely asked Germany to leave the borders of Poland, but accepted the annexation of the free city of Danzig.

Genocide who?

Churchill wasn't United unknown dufus he was running operations in world war one. Gallipoli remember?

Hitler didn't ignore the British interjection on the 28th he presented in response the final offer the very next day.

Hitler didn't ignore that Sept 3rd response either. He responded in October that he was willing to withdraw for a wide ranging security pact.
What exactly is your problem here?

Yes you should tell him.

That's not hindsight. Hitler predicted that outcome in 1920.

He was in 1938, that was 20 years ago. Would you consider Al Gore to be at the frontline of American politics today?

Yes, a refusal. He already had his mind set on war.

>Poland invading Danzig.
To which Poland immediately reversed its decision and pulled out the troops and apologized. How is it reasonable to invade a nation over this trivial matter? Also why was Germany involved anyway they had 0 jurisdiction over Danzig.
>>
>>18025319
Nope. Poland did not remove their troops. They had their troops actively in Danzig when the Germans arrived which is why the Germans captured way more than 88 men and the Germans encountered heavy resistance from fortified positions (a violation) and heavy weapons (another violation).
Why does Poland need anti tank guns and machine guns in a post office?
They don’t. Poland was muscling their way into Danzig without even a formal declaration of war or intention.
Germany guaranteed the independence of Danzig and I don’t know this yet but I suspect German intelligence was in contact with the Danzig security forces and they saw Polish soldiers moving men and materiel into Danzig in late August and this is what caused Hitler, already hesitant and considering calling it off totally, to pull the trigger on Poland.
You seem to think Poland withdrew. I imagine you are referring to the 1933 scandal? I am talking about in 1939 when tensions were high already and Poland felt secure in their position they began to move soldiers into Danzig at some point before the Germans declared war. The first fighting took place between Danzig’s security forces and Polish soldiers in the Post Office and on the Westerplatte.

Germany was already a world power retard, fuck even modern Germany is leading Europe after getting assfucked during the Cold War.

Agree Germany has always been a world power since Frederick the Great but Adolf Hitler ruined everything for his nation's future since it was because of him that it wasn't allowed to have a single nuke for any of the 80 years that passed since his humilitating defeat he didn't just weaken his economy that would eventually recover by the end of the Cold War he also lost many Weimar Republic territories to Poland even though they're still culturally aligned with Germany and would probably still want to reunite with their ancient homeland if a referendum was ever allowed to be held as proven by 21st century election results. But for reclaiming Bismarck's glory there are 2 things needed to be done: give lots of advanced military equipment that Germany produces to Turkey in order to permanently dissolve NATO through Greece a traditional ally of fellow Eastern Orthodox countries Russia and Serbia who never were considered for membership since 1952 and get nukes that Erdogan possesses through Pakistan Cuba and potentially even Israel due to Assad's downfall in Syria. Without nukes Germany will always be overshadowed by old rivals Britain and France on an unprecedented scale not even the Ancient Roman Empire under Julius Caesar back when it hadn't yet lost to picrel would mog Germany that hard. As for Russia the last chance to dethrone it from officially being the world's biggest superpower was OP Churchill he even parially admitted it with his desperate Operation Unthinkable plans that he proposed when Japan was still at war as the last remaining Axis power
>>
>>18025507
It has more to do with trying to bypass restrictions.
Germany was doing the exact same thing with Versailles. It disguised multiple military project as purely civil matters. Bomb planes were disguised as postal planes, and tank production was dusguised as Soviet manufacturing,

Both Poland and Germany tried to bend the rules for a percieved coming conflict.

>>
>>18025641
Israel was given jurisdiction over Palestine by the UN they have every right to occupy it :-)
>>
>>18025596
It doesnt really matter. The key point is that both sides attempted to bypass restrictions to the best of their abilities to safeguard their national interests.

Ultimately Hitlers casus beli was the German minority being supposedly massacred in Poland, not Westerplatte and not the postal office.
The minority massacre was that German media was spinning, and it was what Hitler spoke of every time he met with the British delegation or made a public statement on the crisis.

Quotes unsourced are dismissed. People lie about nazis 24/7.
Numerous countries existed to the east. Hitler wanted a german sphere of interest yes, and negotiated with the USSR to achieve that whereby germany would have sway over close nations and especially ethnically close nations as per the past 300 years. The Soviets refused this agreement and invaded all these areas while the Poles agitated against Germans. Hitler suspected that commies would do this and Poles without a based military leader with a sense of honour like Pilsudski, would also do this.

>>18025641
No, they didn’t. In fact the LoN regulations around polish Danzig relations explicitly state they can NOT send soldiers into Danzig.
>>
>>18026850
Germany had left LoN.
It's a bit absurd to complain that Poland breaks LoN laws when Germany did not even subscribe to them in the first place, and then argue this as a justification for war.
>>
>>18025558
Both Soviet and French policy were wholly necessary because they were specifically on Hitler's shitlist, dumbfuck.
>>
>>18026985
It’s more so that Poland violating the LoN treaty was clearly throwing out former treaties in an attempt to bolster their national security, this is antagonistic in the way that stacking soldiers on a border is, when Poland actually went into Danzig that was it and the Germans, I think in contact with the Danzig security forces, declared seeing German intervention as a now or never.

????
>>
>>18027140
You're missing the point.
Danzig was a LoN city, and Poland was restricted by LoN.
Poland violated LoN when they were circumventing restrictions.

Germany had left LoN so they did not adhere to any LoN regulations, so why should they be policing LoN?

Poland also couldn't give Germany Danzig because the LoN Danzig commission had the final say in the city. Hitler merely wanted Polands approval and after that he would likely just have seized Danzig from LoN because Germany did not adhere to their treaties and regulations, and he woyld rightly assume that LoN wouldn't resist.
