maybe later

the volkisch movement was before WW1 so something like that was bound to get big @Deleted User

Yes if you ask me.

maybe not the same as how the third reich ended up but volkisch shit was before WW1

The Nazis rose to power because of populist propaganda revolving around the "bad deal" that Germany apparently got after starting a massive war and losing.

That's all the Treaty of Versailles was

germany didnt start the war

austria did

sort of

serbia did and then austria had to go to war

Austraia and Serbia

Germany didn't really start the war, they only made the first attacks I believe

and then germany had to protect their austrian allies

Germany was keen to attend the war though

Germany and Austria both did

it was a giant clusterfuck of a mistake

Germany wanted in though

although they definitely weren't the core reason for it

Germany really wanted in.

why would they want in

really really wanted in why

Because they wanted to fucking dominate Europe

i dont think the second reich wanted to

but i know they didnt like russians

This was the German EMPIRE here

so im sure they wanted to go to war with russia

just because they're an empire doesnt mean they want to take over the world

They wanted all of Europe

This is clear

>implying empires only want to dominate

p. sure they just wanted all of german peoples under one flag

falling for muh evil imperialists propaganda

This is what Max Hastings has determined

All of Europe? you sure bud? how would they control it

How was Nazi Germany going to control all of Europe?

If you're arguing they wanted to show off their might, sure, could argue the same for Britain and France tho

They wouldn't

most other European powers

as well

jk lol

but in germany they had much more technology etc.
