Why did Hitler hate Britain so much?

Answer 1

There is no evidence that he did. Many senior Nazis admired the British empire, how such a small country could control so much land and so many people. Hitler certainly saw Britain and France as Germanys rivals but he hated the communists and wanted to destroy the USSR. The Germans never made a serious attempt to invade Britain and in the end it was to their strategic cost, it lost them the war.

Answer 2

Hitler didn't want to attack Britain at first because he was an admirer of the British Empire - and the British were racial "blood relatives".

Germany was rather seeking for living space in Eastern Europe and tried to expand its influence in that direction.

But Hitler had not expected that Britain would have antagonized him and his regime so much since he came into power in 1933.

So, at least in 1938 Hitler was aware that his East European colonizing dreams could not be achieved without a military confrontation with Britain.

Answer 3

Hitler wanted to attack britain because he wanted to conquer it. Hitler wanted to conquer britain because Britain was part of the allies and one of the countries who agreed to the trety of versailles which embarrased Germany.

Answer 4

Adolf Hitler knew that Britain was a strong and formidable enemy. He also knew that they would stand in the way of his power, and therefore went to war against them.

Answer 5

Britain didn't want to be his ally, and rejected his peace proposals.
