It's almost like declaring war on half the planet and all three industrial superpowers was a bad idea.

The Nazis weren’t very clever people. Especially since Hitler kept sperging out and making things worse. Could have just left Poland alone. Could have just NOT taken all of Czechoslovakia and kept to the treaty. Could have not attacked the ussr.

My pride as Pole for causing a war that brought the complete destruction of nazism forever is immense
Imagine if we gave the Polish city of Gdańsk to nazis. You would live in a white supermacy utopia with solar system bases, blacks and asians in concentration camps or murdered. State assigned big tity blonde wife, you would earn money by just marching on the streets with swastika flags
All of that, was denied to you by Polish Chads

You do realize it was a preemptive and defensive war, right? Poles were genociding ethnic Germans, Russians were doing communism and wanted to attack Germany. France and the UK and the US decided to side with genocidal Poles and Bolsheviks.

Germany was just doing its thing not bothering anyone, protecting their culture and their people. But certain powers that be didn't like this so they decided to attack Germany.

The die had been cast on September 1, 1939. After that, he was forced into those encounters. You can criticize this, that initial gamble where he hoped Britain and France would decide it's not worth turning this regional conflict in which Germany was in the right, into a 2nd Great War. He was wrong, and paid the price dearly. But he didn't actively seek out war with the next 4 most powerful countries at the same time out of insanity or hubris; rather he was mostly reacting to the realities on the ground after his initial decision to go to war with Poland.

Yah. They got attacked on both sides. Does not change the fact that Hitler started the war there and thus it was a mistake.

>Poles were genociding ethnic Germans,
Germany doesn't have a right to decide on whatever happens within another nations soverign borders.
>Russians were doing communism and wanted to attack Germany
Then prepare for it not randomly attack central Europe for border disputes
>France and the UK and the US decided to side with genocidal Poles and Bolsheviks.
Because Germany forced them to. If Germany didn't act so aggressively it would never had happened.
>not bothering anyone
Taking over Austria, Czech, and Poland isn't "not bothering anyone"
>protecting their culture and their people
They could freely do that within their own borders. Again they do not have a right to dictate policy in forign soverign nations
>they decided to attack Germany.
Because of Germany's aggressive actions.

To be fair it was Britain who declared war on Germany.

USA had broken a long list of neutrality laws, and in 1941 Roosevelt had given the US navy (whom were escorting British merchants) the order to shoot at Germans on sight, tho declaring war on USA was still a monumental mistake.

USSR was kinda playing the dirty game. They kep pressuring Germany for greater influence over German allies (Bulgaria) and annexation of territory vital to Germany (Romania). They fully took advantage of the fact that Germany depended on Soviet exports to survive.
I suppose it doesnt really change the fact that Barbarossa was still highly opportunistic.
More importantly Barbarossa was extremely miscalculated. The Germans believed the Soviets did not even have half of the strength and that the state was too fractured to survive the stress of an invasion.

Basically:
War with Britain = Miscalculation = They thought Britain wouldnt intervene
War with USSR = Miscalculation = They thought USSR was weak
War with USA = Hubris = They felt USA was already at war with them

The Nazi economy was a Ponzi scheme dependent on looting and plundering the neighboring economies to keep going. If Hitler didn't invade Poland Germany would suffer an economic collapse in a matter of a few years and be left vulnerable to a potential bolshevik revolution, Czech revolt or two front war against Poland and France.

Hitler didn't started it. The poles want war.

>>18483099
Hitler gave Poland an ultimatum. Give up the corridor or we will invade. That is Germsny starting the war.

>>18483099
How exactly did they want war?

Poles did same thing to the Czech and Lithuanian

Aren't you grateful that Poles caused the war that stopped the whole world from living under nazi ideology?

Yes and? Germany was the original instigator which allowed that to happen.
