Why did Hitler target Britain and France so heavily in World War 2?
France and Great Britain were the first nations to declare war on Hitler after he invaded there ally Poland in 1939, which resulted in France been occupied one year later in 1940, because Russia was on the same side as the Nazis until Hitler betrayed them in 1941 and the USA remain neutral until the attack on pearl harbor the same year that meant Great Britain (one of the only European country's not to have been occupied by Hitler) and the rest of the British Empire were left fighting on there own against the Nazis for almost a full year, and when the USA finally did join the war they like the rest of the alleys used Great Britain as a base from which to attack the Nazis so Great Britain was Hitlers main target throughout most of the war, the reason France took so much of a beating is because it happed to be located directly between Great Britain and Nazi Germany meaning whenever one side made a direct attack on the other they had to drive through/fly over France to get there and as a result the country was transformed into one giant battleground.

Could France and Britain have beaten Germany in 1938?
first answer: Maybe - but there was no reason to attack Germany in 1938. second answer: No one can know for sure. I assume if you are talking about the possibility of war in 1938, that you are referring to the period of crisis involving Hitler's demands on Czechoslovakia, April-September 1938). British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was not willing to risk war to protect Czech borders. The French were not willing to risk war without the help of Britain. In the end, Hitler got Czechoslovakia without a war. Although the German military leaders, at the time, were concerned that they would lose in a war with France & Britain, later events proved that the German military was capable of defeating France and pushing the British off the continent. This is primarily because the French & British allowed the Germans to attack first. The only real chance for French & British victory over Germany required an Allied offensive into Germany's Ruhr region (industrial heart of Germany). The British & French were unwilling in 1938, 1939 & 1940 to do this. Based on this, I would assume that a war in 1938 would have resembled the war that began a year later.
