Germany's goal was to control all of Europe. At the beginning of the war, it was only at war with France and Britain, as well as Poland, but that country was quickly defeated. To further its goal, Germany invaded France first because an invasion of Britain would take more planning and it would be suicide to get another nation involved while the only nation bordering it that wasn't its ally or extremely neutral (Switzerland) was still in action. It knew that a two front war was what made them lose World War I.
