why did hitler lose world war 2?
408119
The primary reason for the defeat of Germany in WW2 was due to the fact that Hitler kept interfering with the decisions of his field commanders who war far more qualified to make military decisions. Hitler had little or no knowledge of military strategy as he was only a corporal in the first world war. Furthermore, he acted primarily on instinct and emotion rather than sound advice. Lastly, the German industry was not properly mobilized to attain maximum production until 1944 and by then it was too late. Italian failures in he African campaign and widespread guerrilla activity in the Balkans did not help either...nearly 6 million German troops were tied up in these theaters. Numerous tactical mistakes were also commited such as changing the primary objective in the East from Moscow to Stalingrad when only 30 kilometers away from the original intended objective. The numerical superiority and the will/resolve of the allied powers ultimately led to the undoing and demise of the Reich and Hitler.

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.

World War was was inevitable. If it wasn't started by the assassination, it would've been started by something else.\n\nHowever, Germany should not assume the blame. The Brits, Russians, French, and Austrians are just as much at fault.

you know if you think of it in another way.. hitler is actually someone to look up to... well forget about the killing.... he was a very well opimistic person which a lot of us could use nowadays.... well they hate him because after the war he created the world became poorer... a lot of earth treaures gone missing, resources lesser than usual.... and hey    a lot more diseases are popping out because of the war he caused

It started because the mouth invaded the nose to take control of its valuable snot resources.\n\nOh, you mean world war 2? Sorry. Yeah, it started because the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbour. And if anyone posts that answer in all seriousness, I may be forced to kill them in the most painful way possible.\n\nWorld War II started because Hitler invaded Poland in September 1939, prompting Britain and France to declare war. However, some historians place the date as early as 1931 with the Manchurian Incident.\n\nSo, to answer your question, there were a number of events which precipitated the war after the war to end all wars. For a fuller history of the international conflicts of the 1930s/40s, see the wikipedia entry referenced below.\n\nETA: OMG, someone did. I despair for you.

Because he did the most damage to the greatest number of countries during one of the most historic events of modern times, WWII. He took over a number of countries. His regime killed a lot of people. But so have others. Some more than Hitler. But the difference is that they were confined to their own countries for the most part.

totally ignore Kails, he has no clue what he is talking about, Italy was knocked out of the war before Germany, then the allies moved in on Germany, Russia from the East and UK etc from the West and met in Berlin where Hitler shot himself before the bunker that the high command were sheltering was captured. and that was the day we celebrate as V.E day (victory in Europe) then in the Pacific it continued for a while until America dropped 2 nuclear bombs on civilian centres and Japan surrendered. the allied soldiers would of known it was over cos their commanding officers would of told them. although there are some rumours that Japanese soldiers remained in Korea till this day fighting on in the mountains cos they did  not know the war was over \nhope that helps

I don't think Germany ever felt that way.  The feelings of humiliation that developed due to the loss of WWI and the requirements for Germany under the Treaty of Versailles contributed to the fall of the Weimar republic, the rise of Hitler and thus to World War II.

As you know, WW1 started with the assassination of an Austrian leader. At the end of WW1, Germany was still in a depressed state (like economic depression), and the time was ripe for new radical leadership with the ousting of the old. This new radical leadership, along with the newly invented propaganda machine of television, and Germany's economic state of despair, were the reasons for WW2. Hitler believed expansion of his "kingdom" (third Reich) was essential for Germany's economic prosperity. And at the time, gold was a limited supply, same as today, except that all money was backed by gold. Today, money is not backed by gold. And a limited supply of money made war an economical advantage, they war, they win, they take your gold. Today war is an economical burdon, it is not for gold, but for power.

Hitler was crazy and I bet he didn't even know he was partially Jewish. He needed the support of Germany, so he needed to blame a weak part of the population. He chose Jews because they were not Christian, which the majority of Germans were. They did not fit the regualar German "LOOK" and he felt there was room for discrimination. I am not saying the Jews are weak, and it was a bad move on Adolf Hitler's part. Later during the Liberation, they had to evecuate dozens of overcrowded camps and try to kill everyone without klling the soilders they would need later. Hitler had taken it too far and evacuation was a nusiance. He did it because of various diseases inside him, and because he was a wrongly prejudiced man. He was also against those in wheelchairs, African Americans, homosexuals, bisexuals, gypsies, and partially woman  and other minorities in his point of view.

Basically World World II was like a continuation of World World I. Essentially this is what happened. World War I starts (aka - The Great War pre WWII) and afterwards its like everyone took a break. I'm not joking either. It was like a pause for 20 years. In the early 1930's, Japan invaded China. China actually had the most amount of casualties, not Russia or Eastern Europe. \n\nMost countries blamed Germany and so Germany had many sanction and restrictions put on the country. Hitler played off of these emotions and blamed the Jewish population for all of Germany's problems. At this time, Hitler was also quickly moving up in the ranks and finally became Dictator. \n\nHitler then started annexing countries in the mid to left 1930's and every country began to appease him. After he took over Poland and much of France, it was too late. The non-aggression pact between Germany and Russia made Hitler essentially invulnerable because from Eastern Europe was essentially all his to take over minus Russia. (Hitler would later reneg on the non-agreesion pact)\n\nThe United States needed an excuse to get into WWII and they finally got one on June 6, 1941 - Pearl Harbor. \n\nAbout 6 million jews were killed and 6 million gypsies, homosexuals, etc were killed. \n\nIn China, about 20-25 million were killed.

After WWI, the Allies decided that they were going to punish Germany for causing WWI.  The fact that Germany was no more at fault than France or England was not an issue.  Germany was severely punished, and the result was the rise of Hitler, which consequently lead to WWII.\n\nAfter WWII, the US wanted to avoid another war, and they had learned the hard way that keeping the loser down was not a good idea.  Rebuilding Japan (and Germany) was the best way to ensure future security and hopefully cooperation between the two nations.

Hitler was a mystical minded idiot who's only claim to fame was being in the right place at the right time and taking over a bunch of simple minded already angry and bitter people who wanted revenge on the world. I bet in his book he talks a lot about WWI and God? Hitler's a joke. What influence has he had? National socialism, pah, that's barely a sentence, let alone an attempt at a philosophy. "Germans are genetically superior, therefore they must rule the world." The refutation is WWII itself: Germans lost, therefore that statement is false, therefore, done.

one of their allies had the atomic bomb and were prepared to use it. also, Germany was the main foe, being so close to taking over Europe, they had to worry about them first. military strategy throughout history warns about fighting a battle on 2 fronts. depletes your resourses and manpower. Germany was the main concern then take on Japan.

Most European nations were over run by the Nazis in WW2 and the French were at the front line on Hitler's plans to invade England. Some nations stayed nuetral, however Hitler was intent on not only conquering these nations, but plundering them as well.

hi the politial reason for world war to was that germany was getting deapeper and deaper into dept because of the money it had to pay back to england and france because of the first world war. when the plan falied in the usa to get germany right again because of the stock market crash the germans blamed the jews and saw the answer in expantion. this is what hitler called lebons ral or living space. he invaded a few countries but no on cared untill belgium a small country needed to be crossed through to take tettories in france back that were german untill the end of world war 1 when france took them. so when belgium said no to german troops crossing there lines germany invaded anyway and as a result ww2 started. \nsorry about spelling t
