Did Hitler want to start world war 2?

Answer 1

Hitlers foreign policy may have been one of the principal causes of ww2, but the Anglo-French policy of appeasement was also to blame. In the thirties, hitler aquired Austria, the Sudetenland, Bohemia, Moravia and Memel, as well as remilitarising the Rhineland. By these actions, hitler defied the treaty of Versailles. His next move was to regain the polish corridor, which had been taken from Germany by the treaty. Britain and France then declared war, and although they had placed guarantees on Poland, they were geographically disadvantaged, and Hitler had no reason to think they would take action.
