Because of the cost of the war

2017-06-29 16:35:17 UTC  

He knew he couldn't afford it

2017-06-29 16:35:22 UTC  

suppose the Empire continued to exist though

2017-06-29 16:35:29 UTC  

wouldn't it just collapse some other way?

2017-06-29 16:35:44 UTC  

Eventually it might but he helped speed that up quite a bit

2017-06-29 16:36:04 UTC  

if the Axis had won, I can't imagine the British Empire having the same respect and credibility it did pre-war

2017-06-29 16:36:16 UTC  

Axis wouldn't have "won"

2017-06-29 16:36:28 UTC  

They would've taken parts of Eastern Poland

2017-06-29 16:36:35 UTC  

And likely not even Alsace-Lorraine

2017-06-29 16:36:37 UTC  

France too right?

2017-06-29 16:36:46 UTC  

Casualties would be a few hundred thousand at best

2017-06-29 16:36:49 UTC  

For the war

2017-06-29 16:36:49 UTC  

i imagine some of what used to be the Holy Roman Empire

2017-06-29 16:37:01 UTC  

since that was more or less Germany with some wiggle room

2017-06-29 16:37:30 UTC  

Hitler stated on numerous occasions that he had no intention of expanding in the west

2017-06-29 16:37:39 UTC  

France didn't even want to declare war

2017-06-29 16:37:49 UTC  

They were pressured into doing it by the brits

2017-06-29 16:37:58 UTC  

That's why the phony war existed

2017-06-29 16:38:22 UTC  

wait a minute

2017-06-29 16:38:26 UTC  

They didn't put up much of a fight and the civillian population living under occupation didn't mind it all that much

2017-06-29 16:38:27 UTC  

phony war?

2017-06-29 16:38:32 UTC  

Yes?

2017-06-29 16:38:52 UTC  

Between 1 september 1939 and when Hitler invaded France

2017-06-29 16:38:57 UTC  

That's called the Phony War

2017-06-29 16:39:06 UTC  

i dunno, i think people would be reasonably pissed with the invasion of Poland and the night of broken glass

2017-06-29 16:39:17 UTC  

tfw you sippin on the last of the mornin drank and the nutmeg hits

2017-06-29 16:39:26 UTC  

no.

2017-06-29 16:39:36 UTC  

Hitler told Britain that he would pull out of Poland except Danzig if they made peace

2017-06-29 16:39:44 UTC  

He legit didn't believe they would declare war

2017-06-29 16:40:14 UTC  

And the poles resisted the reasonable german demands

2017-06-29 16:40:22 UTC  

All because of the british guarantee

2017-06-29 16:40:27 UTC  

That ultimately didn't mean shit

2017-06-29 16:40:46 UTC  

I mean come on a railway through the Polish Corridor?

2017-06-29 16:40:59 UTC  

And the FREE CITY of Danzig?

2017-06-29 16:41:04 UTC  

so essentially Germany was just doing some patrol work and retrieving some chattel
some heavily and excessively guarded chattel at that
but because these people had essentially gone full "MINE!" over Germany's shit they had a hissy fit and went to war
why do people hate Hitler again

2017-06-29 16:41:05 UTC  

That's unreasonable?

2017-06-29 16:41:22 UTC  

It's really sad

2017-06-29 16:41:31 UTC  

People say Hitler invaded Austria

2017-06-29 16:41:38 UTC  

Hitler invaded Sudetenland

2017-06-29 16:41:58 UTC  

Hitler killed 600000000000000000000 jews slavs and french

2017-06-29 16:42:13 UTC  

But it's all lies
