They had a two fronted war. Trying to keep England at bay during the same time they invaded Russia with operation barbarossa. Its kinda like the US today, having a two fronted war cuts your available resources in half, its almost impossible to keep going sucessfully so eventually German's just ran out of good troops and equipment to hold off the Allies.
Hitler wanted to control all the world and Russia was part of that. It was also a threat and one of the countries that defeated Germany in World War I.
General Butler describes Adolf Hitler as the greatest menace to peace due to the rearming of Germany. He expressed concern over Hitler's aggressive military buildup and expansionist ambitions, which posed a significant threat to global stability. Butler believed that this rearmament could lead to another catastrophic conflict, reminiscent of World War I.
Its government committed Australia to the war, following slavishly the British lead, even though Germany did not pose a threat to Australia.
Germany posed no direct threat to America early on in World War I, until America came to the aid (with men and equipment) of Britain and the Allies fighting against Germany on European soil. Both in the first and second world wars with Germany, the industrial might, and the manpower the Americans could bring to bear, directly helped bring about the defeat of Germany in the West and saved Britain and Allies from defeat - with Russia fighting towards Berlin as (at that time) an Ally.
Yes, Germany agreed to limit the size of its army after World War I as part of the Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919. The treaty restricted the German military to 100,000 troops and prohibited conscription, along with limiting the size of its navy and banning an air force. These restrictions were intended to prevent Germany from becoming a military threat in the future.

Yes, it was a threat after both World Wars
Because Germany was a threat to France since Germans captured Napoleon III at Sedan. The idea was to keep Germany weak so they could not longer be a threat to France, but this just created hate resentment in the Germany population that will catalyst the World War II.
Well the citizens were not shocked. They thought of Germany as the greatest country in the world and were not afraid to die for it. They were determined and keen.
After world war two, Germany was seperated into the communist East Germany and the democratic West Germany. The greatest symbol of this division was the Berlin wall.
After World War I, France and Poland bore particularly strong grudges against Germany. France, having suffered immense destruction and loss during the war, sought to impose harsh reparations and restrictions on Germany through the Treaty of Versailles. Poland, having regained independence after the war, harbored resentment due to Germany's territorial ambitions and the loss of Polish lands. Both nations viewed Germany as a significant threat to their security and sovereignty in the post-war period.
Mainly the spread of communism. Americans also viewed the USSR as a nuclear threat.
It's scientists. During World War 2 they fled to America, otherwise Germany would be the strongest and greatest country in the world and not America.
Germany viewed the Triple Entente, which included France, Russia, and the United Kingdom, as a significant threat to its national security and ambitions in Europe. The alliance heightened Germany's fears of encirclement and isolation, leading to increased militarization and diplomatic tensions. As a result, Germany sought to strengthen its own alliances, notably with Austria-Hungary and Italy, to counterbalance the power of the Entente. This competitive atmosphere ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War I.
Georges Clemenceau, the French Prime Minister during World War I, believed that Germany was primarily responsible for restoring peace in Europe after the war. He viewed Germany's actions as aggressive and felt that the country needed to be held accountable for the devastation caused by the conflict. Clemenceau advocated for a harsh peace settlement at the Treaty of Versailles to ensure that Germany would not pose a future threat.
Germany was viewed as one of the world's most advanced and developed nations at the turn of the century due to their rapid growth militarily, economically, and research fields. They were challenging many of the other European powers at the time, including Britain and France.
