So you mean other nations objected to Germany’s expansion into their allies territory? So you mean germany started the war?

the largest estimated number of deaths in dresden was 25,000. while 25,000 lives is not to be scoffed at, its not a huge number when we compare it to other cities

that territory belonged to Germany. and Britain, who conquered half of the world already declared on a nation that wanted a retarded treaty like Versailles to be reversed.

revisionists would have you believe the death toll was 300,000 which is just plain ridiculous... thats more than both atomic bombs combined

right but that conquering wasnt really just..

let alone reconquering it lol

danzig had been german territory for the longest time

And now it was polish. Germany was unable to project power in a capacity to reclaim the Danzig, hence it wasnt german.

tbf the people of danzig were mostly german, but thats hardly justification to invade and conquer poland

Poland should have just given back land that was mostly German

im a bit concerned that ur being an apologist for nazi german actions tho

i mean Hitler was a good leader

Objectively no.

@neztharion unfortunately its endemic in this server

he wanted the treaty of versailles (which was extremely unfair) to be reversed and germany returned to it's past and rightful glory

and Britain who controlled half the fucking world started shitting bricks

what past and rightful glory

Wonderful. Great blue sky thinking. Actual implementation wasnt so great though was it? Any kid can dream, it actually takes something more to make that a reality. Pissing off power houses as time shows is a bold strategy but generally a poor one.

this supposed utopian ethnostate that never existed

the territory of Germany before 1919

Let’s actually examine that as well. You criticise the british empire and yet somehow seem fully on board with the german empire, an empire who itself was unabashed in attaining its expansion through military actions with Austria, Bavaria, france, Denmark, and a slew of other smaller german states. Here bismark presented a policy of real politik with a solid grasp of the European dynamic to achieve german sovereignty not through right, but by blood and iron.

What “right” does germany have to these areas?

what right did Britain have to conquer half of the world, murder 10s of millions of people, introduce concentration camps and have them be used on Boers?

they did everything that Germany did and then some more

what-about-ism isnt a defence

Areas many of which had been considered german barely 50 years, germany itself being an infant on the world stage?

it's showing the hypocrisy of Britain

the british empire was pretty horrid. but a broken clock is right once a day - germany unjustly invaded their allies

reuniting germany was unjust?

reuniting germany is a very dishonest way of putting it

they invaded and conquered sovereign nations

they were trying to unify all Germans

oh so kinda like the British? 😂

again, whataboutism isnt rly an a good argument

my point right now is that the British are the biggest hypocrites in world history

broken clock is right twice* a day not once lol

okay but thats not really a good defence of germany

the Greater German Reich was meant to expand it's borders to include all ethnic Germans

whilst simultaneously conquering non german peoples and exterminating people deemed 'lesser'

that's what the Anchluss, Sudetenland, etc. was for

yeah very defensible
