Nobody wanted to get involved in another World War, but Hitler forced everyone’s hands.
That’s one of the crazy things about Hitler. He was basically handed half of Europe, and could have kept that and tolerable relations with the major world powers, but it wasn’t enough for him. He had his sights set on total global domination, and nothing short of that would satiate his desires. I suspect that even the world would not have been enough, but thankfully we never had to find out.
It’s one of the big weaknesses of these sort of egotistical maniacs imo, they make decisions based on their own egos, and create an environment where nobody is willing to call them out on it

ooh makes sense!
“Blitzkrieg” by Len Deighton is my favorite one volume history of Hitler and WW2.
