The REAL Reason why Hitler HAD to start WW2

The traditional explanation as to why Hitler had to start WW2 misses out one crucial element of Hitler's reasoning. In this video, not only are we going to spell out exactly what Hitler's reasoning is, but show why certain events - like the Autarky policy, the oil crisis and the Holocaust - were the consequence of that reasoning.
This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so that we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do. #history

*SOURCES AND NOTES* Good luck trying to find information about the "shrinking markets" concept in relation to National Socialist ideology online, because it's simply not discussed (in English at least). As of the publication of this video, I don't think Wikipedia even mentions it in relation to Nazi ideology, and I'm fairly certain it's rare to find discussion of it even in the historiography. So welcome to the forefront of historical discussion! Let me know if you want me to discuss why the “shrinking markets” concept is not as well known as it should be. If I do create a follow up to this video, I’ll also endeavour to answer as many questions that you raise in the comments related to this topic, since I think this may prove to be a popular topic of discussion. Here's an alternative translation of the quote of the one I read from Hitler’s Second Book, this time from the fantastic book by Zitelmann ‘Hitler: The Politics of Seduction’ which I highly recommend - “The market of today’s world is not an unlimited one. The number of industrially active countries has constantly increased. Almost all of the European nations suffer from the insufficient and unsatisfactory ratio of their territory to their population, and are therefore dependent on world exports. In recent times they have had the Americans union added on, in the east Japan. With this, a fight for the limited markets begins automatically, which will become all the sharper the more numerous the industrially active nations become, and on the other hand the more limited the markets become. Because while, on the one hand, the number of nations fighting for the world market increases, the market itself gradually shrinks, in part due to self-industrialization under their own power, in part by a system of branch companies which are increasingly being set up in such countries out of purely capitalistic interests… The more purely capitalistic interests begin to determine today’s economy, especially the more general financial and stock market considerations gain a decisive influence, the more this system of the foundation of branches will expand, but with this also the industrialization of former markets… artificially carried out and, in particular, restricting the possibilities of export of the European mother countries… The greater the difficulties of export become, the harsher the fight for the ones remaining will be waged. And if the initial weapons in this battle lie in price structures and the quality of the goods with which one tries to compete each other into ruin, the final weapon here too ultimately lies in the sword.” - Zitelamann, P277 quoting Hitler's Second Book. Technically I should have done a Q&A video this week, but given that we’ve just had the anniversary of D-Day, I thought I’d best do something a bit more special. I’m planning on answering most of the remaining Q&A questions in the next Q&A video coming in two weeks time (it’s Courland Part 9 next Monday). *Sources* Aly, G. “Hitler’s Beneficiaries: How the Nazis Bought the German People.” Verso, 2016.

the Shrinking Markets concept seems to be the polar opposite of the protectionist "dumping" idea, where cheap foreign goods prevents the formation of domestic industry.

[@dewittbourchier7169]

Excuse me but both Evans and Tooze go on about this at length, especially Tooze, and the Nazi ideological aspect beyond simply saying 'because they're aggressive' has been talked about at length since the late 1950s. And on a mostly unrelated note, if 'Socialist' economies are so bad, why did the zenith of Social Democracy and State Socialism correspond with the fastest period of economic growth in human history - 1945-1973? And if Capitalism is so 'liberating' why can so many people not stand it?

[@Paciat]

Funny how it is often said that Germans hated commies, and how Marks was a jew, and communism is Jewish. Marks and Engels were German, Lenin learned in a German speaking university, Germans payed millions of marks to support communism in WWI. In the Vistula miracle battle Trotsky ultimate goal was to reach Berlin and unite with German commies. German tank and fighter schools in Kazan and Lipetsk were training new Wehrmacht deep in Russia. And ofc. the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact.

Or they think we enjoy it as if we enjoy war movies. I know because I got accused of being weird in middle school for reading history books of various tragic events.

1:41 That makes sense on the Japanse perspective of WW2. Meaning, Japan invaded multiple China, Korea, and smaller islands in order to gain access to raw materials, which were essential in its War effort, namely rubber, oil, and metal. Moreover, these countries were less evolved in technology as Japan, which gave it a significant advantage on the War. This effort was to gain influence in the region, have access to all its resources, in order to rule the Pacific - over the USA, which was a major power in both industrial and resources. A Japanese general said, after Pearl Harbour attack something along these lines: "Only a person which have not seen the vast oil fields in Texas, and the gigantic facilities in Detroit, can say that the USA has no capacity. With Pearl Harbour we have 6 months to gain terrain [resources that is]. After that, we shall be prepared". They knew quite well. The issue was: a) On the day of the Pearl Harbour attack, the bigger US Navy ships were in a training mission; b) The various islands ended up being more difficult to conquer than anticipated; c) The US Military broke the Japanese message encryption. All this to say: You ruling out that idea is not correct. I am not saying that was the strategy of Hitler! I am saying that this was the strategy followed by the Japanese Empire Army. Hitler, to be honest, was governed by: 1) His desire to revenge the Germany shame in the treaty signed after WW1 - and it was this what lift him to power, in a democratic election; 2) His belief that Jews were taking Germany jobs and money away; 3) His belief that Slavic people were inferior; 4) His belief that German discipline, intelligence, power, and Nazism would take Europe to the forefront of advancements in Humanity.

Great video. Well researched and presented. Did you make a video about why this is not taught more widely?

[@queuedjar4578]

In my public schooling experience the curriculum is the common simplified version of world events because they are incentivized to pass as many students as possible with a very basic and fundamental chronology of historical events. This naturally causes many things to be broken down into black and white interpretations of the inherently greys of history, and a lot of specifics aren't delved into mostly because they get confusing especially without deep understandings of many other fundamental topics. Regardless, if you're lucky enough, you do get a very good history teacher that admits that what they teach is surface level, and they do offhandedly recommend students delve more into the topic on their own and further develop their own understandings of history despite it not being required in the curriculum, a few teachers may even develop their lessons plans to instill this practice of reading further into finer details and developing better context. It just becomes up to the student themselves to continue this practice, though many naturally won't do it out of their own volition. It's why videos like this have 2 million views, and a significant portion of those are unfortunately malding socialists who only come back to complain in the comments section.

So the Khedive made some alliances and defense deals with Britain - profitable for both as Brits got lots of trade and Egypt no longer sent tax tribute to Istanbul! But The Sudan - south of Egypt - HAD BEEN previously an Egyptian province but broke away and its people made a NUISANCE of themselves with raids and slave trading and such for many decades! In 1899. Brits had had enough and launched an army into the Sudan in part because Brits wanted to build a railway down the length of Africa to improve trade for all along the route and Sudanese raiders were blocking the way - and in part because the number of dead as a result of Sudanese raids was really piling up - and in part because of the NOBLE GOAL OF ENDING THE SLAVE TRADE! Thus a so called British army marched to the Sudan - and it was composed of one third Brit regular troops; one third Egyptian troops who had finally been galvanized into action by the sheer size and cost of Sudanese raids ; and ONE THIRD BY BLACK AFRICAN TROOPS and those blacks WERE DELIGHTED to get paid and trained and equipped and supplied so they COULD TAKE OUT THE SUDANESE SLAVERS who had stolen so many of their people!

To understand WW2 needs to understand the aftermath of Ww1 and the Versailles threaty

[@Paciat]

And how Germany whipped its ass with every single page of that Versailles treaty while UK and France did nothing. Unlike Germany, France was actually devastated by warfare, not just by its own war economy. In 1936 when Hitler reoccupied Rhineland, German officers were told to retreat if the French would fight. Hitler did things that he believed he would get away with time and time again. The main 3 reasons of WWII are: 1. British appeasement 2. Soviet cooperation 3. USA Isolationism And the Versailles treaty as the reason of WWII is mostly Nazi propaganda. Just take a look at the borders of the treaty of Brest-Litovsk or what Germany wanted to do to France. And heres a lecture supporting what I said: kzbin.info/www/bejne/paGnpqpqhL9mh6s

[@Tiberius_I]

Of course Germans would never have accepted the likes of Hitler at any other period in their history, and in the absence of WW1 and the chaos of Germany's failed democracy of the Weimar republic, Hitler never could have taken power. But after decades of war, economic depression, starvation, runaway inflation and chaos, combined with the looming threat of communism hanging over Europe like the proverbial sword of Damocles - the Nazis were (grudgingly) accepted as the lesser of two evils...notice how many tries it took Hitler and the rest of the evil cabal to gain power over the Reichstag! But by about 1930, after a decade of failed democracy, it was clear to almost all that the Hobson's choice was inevitably either Russian-style communism or "national socialism"....and by then most Germans had heard plenty of ominous stories from Bolshevik Russia to see where the former was certain to lead: Famine & mass starvation of millions in the ukraine, the terror of the NKVD and "SMERSH" ("Death to spies"), the absurd purge of the Red Army officer corps, gulags, and genocide was the story from Stalin's Russia. The proof of all that was established beyond all doubt as under covert agreement to side-step the Versailles treaty, many German generals travelled to the Soviet Union to train in secret and develop important weapons like the Panzers. And in that post-WW1 era, many of the German Generals, like Erich Von Manstein went to Russia for training and as a result, saw for themselves what life under the communist heel was all about! Von Manstein in particular, was repelled by Stalin's violent excesses, and what he saw in Soviet Russia led to a sincere and life-long loathing of Stalin, which he and the other German military commanders brought back to Germany. Certainly by 1939, the German high command was familiar enough with the communists to be collectively revolted by the Reds, and determined never to let the disease of bolshevism happen to Germany. No doubt this was a key factor (along with the German army's rampage through Russian territory in 1918) to their ultimate and easy acquiescence to Operation Barbarossa just a few years later!

What did he do then against the Molotov Ribbentrop pact? The Polish Relationships with Germany were good in the mid 30s. What did IIIrd Reich do to strengthen them (instead of demanding everything for free) if they saw Russia as a threat? Germans had a retreat plan in case French would defend the Rhineland.

I have no doubt in my mind that if the US wouldn't have opened up its market to Germany and Japan as it did after WW2, there would have been a WW3. We fail to remember that the British and French had massive colonies which were essentially their markets. Germany due to its geography was unable to colonize to the extent the British, French or even the Spanish. US on the other hand a whole continent to itself besides being a massive country itself. After WW2 the US in the Bretton Woods Conference essentially force the trade around the world to be free and safe for the first time in human history. Essentially that is all the resource poor but capital rich Europeans and Japanese wanted, safe access to markets. The condition for being able to access the market was that countries had to decolonize and pick Americans over the soviets. In my opinion the British and French were the biggest losers of WW2 . They lost most of their global influence to the US and had to just sit down quietly while their long time enemy Germany traded freely with their former colonies and became the largest economy in Europe.

[@jakeharris3248]

We can’t forget that the United States dollar became world reserve currency at the Breton Woods conference, which was previously the British pound sterling if I’m not mistaken. For everything that a country or empire could potentially lose from all the destruction that is all part of war , the depletion of wealth and resources etc etc , Britain fared much better than many other countries involved that endured sustained air raids and bombing campaigns , they definitely suffered their share of the misery and damage , however , the thing that deflated their empire on a permanent basis was losing global reserve currency status. My honest opinion is in spite of the pain and financial hardships that would inevitably take place to a country and their people upon having to adapt and make changes to their economy , everyone would feel the squeeze I have to assume but once they install sensible policy and people find their way to make it and thrive within the new framework , they’re so much better off. As an American I realize the supposed advantages the country has financially speaking , especially doing business internationally etc but I don’t have any faith in those who have been allowed to have control over our money policy , bankers or politicians alike. Whether as an individual or citizen I’m sure one could argue both ways whether it benefits or has no measurable impact to me or the average person but with no doubt about it when the day comes the dollar crashes and is removed as the international reserve currency the working class and poor will definitely be among those who suffer the bulk of the negative impact. Provided that people have equal access to innovate and improve upon goods and/or services and sell their products etc on an open and equal market I have confidence Americans at large will be able to compete just fine.

Economically yes, but in terms of power and influence, Germany is nowhere near it could have been.

Of course Germany didn't have to start WW2. Also, the reason why Germany's military is so weak. Is in large part due to very little political consensus within Germany, why the military even exists at all. There is broad agreement that the military should exist, but the military itself is completely aimless. The most professional militaries in the world, are the ones with a very clear goal. There is no fooling around in the South Korean military for example, everyone involved knows what is at stake. Perhaps a belligerent Russia will bring some much needed direction to Germany. What they need is an ''Admiral Fisher'' (British first sea lord 1904-1910), someone who is serious about their job.

You have to understand Hitler didn't just show up one day and say, "Hey, come fight a war for me." His rise to power spread out over a long time, and he was well and truly entrenched by the time the war started. At that point most Germans were *afraid* to oppose him (and probably rightly so). Hitler's route to power involved the exploitation of the hopes and needs of the people of Germany. Yeah, part of what made him successful was the memory his people had of how they'd been treated during the previous war. Part of it was their feelings about Jews and Marxists - it's no accident that Hitler chose those groups as the "whipping boys" for his policies. Hitler wanted power, pure and simple, and he made decisions about how best to manipulate the people into giving him that power. And yeah, he was a little bit psycho too.

It was actually more related to the outcome of WW1 and the threat of communism. WW1 happened mainly due to the upper-class (royalty), driven by industrialization and the greed of monarchs, who were often part of the same family, causing the conflict. Ordinary men were sent to the slaughter, possibly to support population growth or to depopulate, depending on the perspective. Tsar Nicholas II and King George V were closely related as cousins, both being grandchildren of Queen Victoria. Their friendship and resemblance are often overlooked. The British monarch at the time, George V, was the first cousin of Germany's Kaiser Wilhelm II, and both were grandchildren of Queen Victoria. The upper class (monarchs) funded by powerful bankers sent poor men to die, and the people of Russia eventually rebelled, leading to the death of Tsar Nicholas. The outcome of WW1 made other monarchs, especially Britain, fearful, while Germany faced severe consequences, including economic hardship. Germany's rise to power in WW2 was supported by a mix of monarchs and new rulers, such as rich capitalists, bankers, and industrialists, both working together. Supporting a far-right party in Germany was a strategy to counter the threat of the East (bolsheviks) and protect the interests of the ruling class. The rest is history; the poor men in the West improved their conditions, but the 3rd world countries became subservient in a pyramid system. The current system is showing signs of collapse, evident in the war in Ukraine, with the potential for the poor 3rd world countries to rise up, mirroring the post-WW2 situation in the West.

Keep in mind how everything started after 1918 with a civil war, at least partially fostered by the allies such as France, but much more by early USSR. Main reason for radicalization during Weimar Republik had been the fight against soviet revolutionaries and the "soviet republics" they tried to implement from Wilhelmshaven to Brunswick, from Munich to various Ruhr cities and from Berlin to Breslau. As leading revoltionaries came from Eastern Europe and usually had been either send, or massivly supported by early USSR elites, conclusion for lots of people witnessing revolutionry crimes in central Europe was to focus on USSR as main source of problems experienced. For example take a close look at the "Soviet Republic of Munich" and all related crimes. Suddenly, reasons for radicalization become way clearer... Strive for autarcism however was a direct conclusion from allied continental blockade starving hundreds of thousands of people, mainly children and old people, in order to make Germany sign the absolutely absurd Treaty of Versailles.

"[Hitler] went to war in 1939, and made his war economy in 1933. That's six years on a war footing before the war. Really?" Yes, really. Building up a military from nothing - especially when you weren't even allowed to - takes time. Why not implement the war economy in the late '30s, say '38 or '39? Because then he wouldn't be able to go to war until the mid '40s. A battleship takes three years to build. Even a submarine takes almost a year. And troops need training, and just a couple of years is shaving it uncomfortably close. If you're planning for a major war where you don't enjoy massive superiority from the inception, preparations take years. It took Hitler six years _with_ a war economy to be _somewhat close_ to being well enough prepared. Without a war economy? Even if there would have been more money to put _into_ a war economy by '38 or '39 (there wouldn't - Hitler didn't really have any economic plans of his own, he was mostly riding projects of his predecessors), the time it takes to build and train isn't shortened. And Hitler wanted to go to war while he was still comparatively young, and - not least - still in power.
