Did Hitler want Britain to join him in World War 2?

Answer 1

He didn't want Great Britain as a conquest; he wanted (or rather, needed) to defeat Britain or make them otherwise sue for peace. Only then could he consolidate his grip on continental Europe and concentrate on what he really wanted to conquer: the vast expanse of the Soviet Union.

Hitler very narrowly succeeded through the U-boot war in the Atlantic by which he managed at one point to destroy and sink so many tons of war supplies, food supplies, oil and raw materials that Great Britain came on the brink of not being able to go on. It was US President Roosevelt who almost single-handedly pushed through the measures to turn the tide.

In the end, not having been able to defeat Britain Hitler nevertheless invaded Russia. Britain then turned into a springboard for massive Allied help to Russia and Hitler now had to fight a two-front war, which proved more than he could handle.

Answer 2

Lets first remember Britain declared war on Germany, if they had not they Britain and Germany probably would never have gone to war. Hitler was not at all interested in locking horns with Britain. He aspired to reach the same success that Britain's did in conquering and colonizing tactics. Aside from a great respect he had for British people who he referred to as civilized like Germans and unlike all those non-aryan-race type whom he had put to death ... He also feared the British navy, which he considered to be superior to their own.

On the question of America, Hitler was desperately trying to stay out of a war with America. After Japan broke their agreement with Germany by bombing perl harbour, japan declared war on America and Hitler was furious because he too was then expected to declare war against America to preserve their alliance

Another Answer

Hitler understood that he could not accomplish his goals -- or even try to do so -- without antagonizing Great Britain. Hitler did not "hate" the British, and in fact considered them to be his "natural" allies. But he failed to take seriously the British resolve to stand by their agreement with Poland.

Hitler did NOT want Great Britain as an adversary, but in the end he simply couldn't avoid it.
