why do contries go to war with each other and why did hitler want to rule the world?

most of the motivation comes from econimic need.  this has always been disguised with political or religious beliefs, but it all comes down to money.\n\nthe more land a country has the more resources and wealth they can accumulate.\n\nHittler wasn't unlike any other historical dictator: he believed he deserved to rule the world.

World peace is such a beautiful idea, isn't it? I would really love for everyone to be able to get along. However, realistically speaking, that just isn't how things are. Wars have existed since the beginning of times, and I'm sure will continue throughout the end of times. The reason being is because there are more greedy, selfish, hateful SOBs out in the world than there are loving people. Everyone always wants to be right, and many will to go whatever lengths to try to prove it. \nIt's a sad and cruel world.

If Germany would have known when to stop with it's expansionism, Nazism would probably still be in place.\n    Sucking up a few smaller countries just wasn't enough for the madman Hitler, he had to push his agenda of extermination of the Jews and total world conquest.

Tha was why Adolf Hitler intended to eliminate them in the world during WWII.

People didn't take over the world. For years, people wanted land and tresures. They do this because they want power. Other species would have the power to take over the world if they were stronger . Just like the movie, "War of the Worlds". From your avatar....you look cool. Just like me. \nAt my school I'm cool and tough. I am a punk and a total rebel. I have a punk boyfriend just like\n me. Can you add me too your list? Please!!!

Primarily because it was popular to do so at the time.  Hitler believed in a conspiracy theory that said the Jews wanted to take over the world.   Hitler wrote (well he dictated it and it was heavily edited) called Mein Kampf - My Struggle in English, that does shed some light on his anti-Semitism (hating of the Jewish people)  I've included some resources below that may help you in your research. \n\n(I am not Jewish, but in an effort to be unbiased I must disclose that I do have Jewish relatives. The links I provided I have found personally useful and I find their coverage of the Holocaust to almost universally accepted.  There are however small groups which feel that the Holocaust never happened.  You will have to draw your own conclusions.  I was not alive then but the historical records and primary source material I have consulted have convinced me of the horrible reality of the Holocaust or Shoah.)

no war is good for anyone.  I really think that if one coutry has a problem with another....the two leaders should duke it out and who ever is still standing wins!!  It would only cost for the flight there and back.

Greed and selfishness are the causes.  What else can be the causes?  Leaders of those European countries want more land and money.  They want only their people to be wealthy and in power.  They want to use all the other people that they took advantage of to make more wealth and power for themselves.  (Hey, don't forget Japan was also involved in WWII.)\n\nThe consequences of those two wars are a lot of hatred between groups of people.  No one will ever forget the loss of a loved one being killed or the house that they've worked for all their lives being bombed and gone within seconds.  Wars destroy futures within seconds.  When stuff like this happens, some people don't forget which group of people or country did it to them.  So they teach their children and grandchildren how to hate the other group of people.  So much hatred in this world came from wars, esp. WWI & WWII.

We are always facing the possibility of WWIII. They have been ready for that reality since the last world war. The problem is that the world has been at war with itself for centuries. Its only when it happens to you that you take notice. Power and greed are the players and the sides are whoever has the most or the illusion of the most power. But you know what is said about the big guys...The harder they will fall. Boom baby.

I definitely AGREE! Bush and Hitler r the same. bush just sends his people to war and they r just being killed and bush doesn't give a shit what happens to them. Bush can burn in hell. the only reason y he went over to Iraq* is because that crazy ass dude that ran the country almost killed Bush's father so bush wanted to go over there and get revenge for his daddy. bush can burn in HELL!

even though Hitler was not German he wanted to create a perfect race. He wanted to kill all homosexuals, gypsies and jews. His program was to make Germany a powerhouse country and to slowly make his way through Europe and take over. A lot of people actually believe that Hitler was not an evil person, a lot of people think he was a lunatic. I have even heard that the holocaust was over played, and I have heard that Hitler's primary goal was to get rid of all the "trash" and build the perfect world.

Germany was doing poorly after WWI. They were faced with the entire debt of that war. The economy was falling apart and they needed a strong leader to pull it together. Hitler spoke of socialism, which is a great idea! But, it is impossible because of people's nature. He sold it on that, and got power.

I once had a 6th grade teacher that said that nobody could rule the world because it would spread them to thin. I subscribe to that theory because it sounds reasonable to me. Just because Germany or Japan took over France there was still a resistance that contributed to the victory by the allies. If it was here there would also have been an underground that would have made it tough to keep us in line. So the answer to this is no I think that English will always be the language of the land regardless if we pass on a war or not.

Well, to work backwards, then forwards: The men who owned the military equipment factories and other factories, wanted to take over the world's markets.  The American businessmen and the German businessmen wanted to conquer the world, but the Germans got greedy and wanted it all, so we split.  This is what caused the war with Germany and America.  Japan was allied with Germany, as was Italy and Mussolini wanted colonies in Africa, as did Germany.  The United States put an oil blockade around Japan, which in Napoleon's time was considered an informal declaration of war, so Japan bombed Pearl Harbon on December 7th, 1941.  \n Before that, General Motors made Tanks for the Germans and engines for one of their fighter bombers, (the JU-88, I think).  Germany had a Steel Empire called KRUPP steel.\n  This steel company financed Hitler and later used slave labor in the war. Krupp steel also built steel mills in Japan, which were used to make Japanese weapons, guns, cannons and aircraft carriers.  After the war, that steel company was called Mitsubishi steel, which now makes automobiles.  Krupp steel was divided up into 68 companies after the war.  \n  World War I was also financed by Krupp steel, which made a lot of money selling guns and cannons to the government.\nIt involved Trench Warfare, and almost became a stalemate, since until the Tank was invented, there was no way to go across No Man's Land to attack the enemy with enough force to destroy him. \n  By the way, in 1916, an epidemic of flu broke out which later became the Pneumonia Pandemic of 1918, which killed millions of people and is supposed to come back any year now, (but Bird Flu has taken the spotlight in the news.)  But the bad weather and unsanitary and unhealthy conditions in the trenches gave the soldiers this sickness in WW1.\n  For the causes of World War I and World War II, we have to go back a long time.  The land called Alsace-Lorraine, in France now, has/and had iron ore and coal.  During the Black Plague a lot of people left this area and a man named Krupp bought up 243 deeds.  About two hundred years later, one of his descendents started making iron, and later, an heir wanted to make steel, and learned how to do that.\n  With this steel he first made spoons, but they were too small for him to sell in Austria.  He later started making gun barrels, and made a lot of money selling gun barrels.\n  At that time cannons were made out of brass, and brass cannons start to melt when they are fired too much.  The land where the steel was made was in what used to be called Prussia, which had a king named Frederick the Great, who was a Despot.  A despot is an isolated, individual will who is unchallenged.  Frederick the Great was considered educated, or Enlightened.  Other examples of a despot are Catherine the Great of Russia, and Louis XIV of France, Hitler, Stalin, and Franco.  Also, Henry VIII could be called a despot.  Anyone that says The State is Me, or I am the Law, who can have your head cut off if you disobey them, is a despot.  In a democracy we can challenge despots because we have the Bill of Rights, which allows freedom of assembly, and of speech, and of belief, etc.\n  Also, we have three branches of governement, so each branch checks the other to keep it from becoming despotical.\n Otherwise the President would be a despot.  But the people must maintain eternal vigilance to preserve their Liberty.\n  And other people do not have our system of government.\n France lost Alsace-Lorraine to the Prussians in 1871.  France got the land back after WWI, at Versailles.  The Germans took it over from the French when it invaded France after it invaded Poland, Austria, and cut Czechoslovakia in half.  If France had resisted with 3 divisions it could have stopped the german advance.  If the german tanks had not stopped to call Berlin for directions, they could have gone all the way to the Atlantic the first few days without any resistance.  The german c

why were we interested in a war in Europe in 1940, or Korea in 1950 , or Vietnam in 1959, the world is smaller than you think, genocide can not be tolerated anywhere on earth. As a world leader, we or obliged to do the right thing everywhere in the world!

WWII was thought of Germany's "revenge" or rebirth after the shame it was brought due to the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was made to pay the countries it affected after the war and limit the number of military troops. Germany was not present during the discussion of the treaty and it felt wronged. Hitler used this is a spin to bring the Germans to rally behind him. WWI is actually considered the "unfinished war" and WWII was just a continuation.
