The REAL Reason why Hitler HAD to start WW2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- 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).

Thanks for watching, bye for now!
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.
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?
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.
Yes I would love you to do a video on the historiography. Also, is the de-industrialisation or prevention of industrialisation prevalent in colonialism related to shrinking markets? Or was it just driven by capitalist self interest?
TIK Why did Donald Trump start a Trade War with China and selectively ban Muslims from entering the United States?? Why is Donald Tump sending a naval armada to Iran and broke the treaty agreeing that Iran would not develop nuclear weapons? Why did Donald Trump want to withdraw all troops from Syria contrary to his military advisers?? Why did Donald Trump stop some of the further sanctions on North Korea after they did not agree to nuclear disarmament? Why does Donald Trump like the leader of North Korea so much? Why did Donald Trump want to build a wall between the US and Mexico with Mexico paying for it and then shutdown the federal government because Congress would not pay for the wall? Why did Donald Trump start to implement tariffs on Mexico over illegal immigration and then suddenly withdraw the tariffs? Why did Donald Trump claim more people attended his inauguration than Obama's despite the photographic evidence? Why did Donald Trump have his staff start an investigation to prove that he actually got more of the popular vote than Hillary Clinton, when clearly he did not? Mad men cannot come to power in modern nations. There must be an explanation like the Shrinking Economy for what we are seeing now. These can't all just be random acts of a mentally unstable world leader. That is not how things work. Mad men do not come to power. 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐

As he said, the market was shrinking, which was partly caused by the allies. That is why, after WW2, reconstruction was done more effectively. In my opinion, the real reason was industrialization, as some historians have said. Human nature is always the same if we believe in multiculturalism. British and Germans are like Nigerians, that is, violent.
@@strauser360 which channel do you mean this one? Can I ask you for a suggestion of where to do the history
"Why isn't this taught." Because it's problematic to justify evil actions as logical (in the subject's mind) to people who primarily think emotionally. Which is a majority of all populations.
Chicken or the egg situation. Perhaps people think primarily emotionally, and increasingly so, because nobody is taught these logics.
Thumbs up for out of the box thinking, but... It's even more problematic for people who don't understand the role of emotion to see portrayals of modern govn'ts as tools of multinational globalists. When people like Hitler, Mao, W. Bush, Reagan, Obama or Biden try to sell a protection scheme for the hayseeds, the first appeal isn't to emotion. It's to people who are still naive and emotionally stunted enough to think that there's a rational basis for their allegiances and blindspots.
@@asnark7115 really? Almost all politicians I've seen appeal either strictly to emotion, or rely heavily on emotion because their policies are so obviously terrible
Emotion shouldn’t be ignored when judging, it should rather be controlled.
Well they need to get the MOST votes to win… and MOST people are over emotional sheep.
Hot take: the main reason why this isn't talked about in schools is that for high schoolers this is actually a rather complex concept
I actually did learn this in an advanced grade class in german high school (which I heard is not too far off from US college level)
nah
Complex? You mean to teach that the German people voted for a racist intolerant austrian born crazy man, and cheered for him when he started invading neighboring countries?
@@Kaspar502lol
It's no more complex than any era of history, but it does take more time to explain, as it involves multiple countries, and the backstory of WWI.
They used to say Hitler's signature diminished over time proving he was losing self confidence. As someone who has to sign endless paperwork I can empathize with him in that my signature got smaller so I could sign things faster.
Same here. I kept shortening my signature to the point I can't do it anymore.
My parents just put 2 letters
My doctor's signature is literally a single character that he invented himself. It's basically just an upside-down capital "Q". I can remember once I had to wait 6 weeks for him to sign off on something and when the paperwork arrived and it turned out that I'd waited 6 weeks all for a very wobbly, scribbled upside-down "Q". I was speechless!
What? You can't be serious. Bs
@@silverbullet2008bb In fairness, if you've ever worked in a medical setting, pretty much every doctor's handwriting is almost nonsensical scribblings like it's in an unknown language. Medical staff just learn that doctor's unique language.
You are missing the fact that there was a trade boycott against Germany

@@siegpasta Lot of missing facts Lebensraum was used early in the twentieth century by Germans explaining a plan to colonize other countries, but the word is most strongly associated with Nazi Germany. The Nazis used the idea of Lebensraum, literally "living space" in German, as the basis of their policy for the Germany's expansion.
@@grandaddyc When someone serves 9 months for a failed coupe (instead of swinging from a gallows), ya gotta consider that they've been compromised. Hitler was an agent. He vectored the deaths of millions of Christians.
@@grandaddyc I know what that word means I understand german afterall.
But they didnt just use that phrase for nothing, its directly correlated to the fact that they lost basically up to 45-55% of their whole former country.
Germans who were still germans, were still living in these places that overnight became part of some other country.
Areas such as; Pommern, Brandenburg, Posen(the provinz), Schlesien, Westpreußen, Ostpreußen.
Famous cities in some of those areas: Danzig, Königsberg, Kolberg, Posen(the city).
Do you see? It wasnt just some random term that they came up with. This was a term to describe the fact that they needed to reclaim what was once theirs, that of which was unrightfully taken from them.
Many people In Germany at this time had family members in these areas aswell. It was about doing the right thing, not about just mindlessly using a word as an excuse to go to war.
I just needed to make that clear.
Yeah there are a lot of facts missing from this and it's filled with non-facts.
I find it amazing that people still argue "why did Germany go to war?" When it is very clear why they went to war if you actually read his book. He outlines all this in there. My dad used to tell me, "when someone tells you who they are and what they are going to do ... believe them."
this is obviously true. it explains why hitler was actually disappointed that Munich prevented war in 1938. he was determined not to let that happen again a year later. I actually read Mein Kampf in college in poli sci 101, along with Mill, Locke, Rousseau, and Marx (I'm sure there were others, I just don't remember, it's been 40 years). stalin read it too, he underlined the passages where hitler talked about the need to conquer russia. stalin's near-fatal mistake was thinking he had more time before war came.
@abdennour oudjana What didn't change, tho. The concept of lebensraum, of making the vast eastern part of Europe a vassel state subservient to Germany. He detailed his war plan pretty well in his book.
@abdennour oudjana The passage of time may have changed how he would go about it; it clearly didn't alter what he states in MK is his intention. The problem of shrinking markets wouldn't have been at the top of his thinking in 1925, but as the video argues, it would have had his attention in 1941, and would have provided him with added incentive.
Kind of like Obama?
yes people shrug off too much as hyperbole nowadays.
England declared war on Germany. This whole war economy talk is nonsense. Every country has a budget for defence. And your enemies aren't always inherently evil.
I agree
Finally. Thank you my friend for correction. People doesn't know the truth and history. It's all Zionist propaganda. Zionists started world War 2. For exchange to create Israel.
The propaganda has the world believing otherwise. Winston Churchill conned the USA 2 join WW11.
Judea declared war on Germany in the 1930s, it was the headline on the Daily Mail IIRC.

one of the most important things ive learned as ive developed into an adult is that most people dont make irrational decisions for the sake of being irrational and evil. most decisions are rational when viewed from the relevant perspective
Have you ever considered the "Abused Child" Theory of history? Hitler and Stalin were abused children.
Putin too. They lack empathy. They are permanently angry. They crave power and control.
In other words, severe PTSD. Everyone notices the defects. Most people ignore the cause.
Russian alcoholism is a sign of rampant PTSD.
Gangsters are almost invariably abused children, in my experience.
Notice the commonality of psychology with world leaders?
I also love the Aha-moment when you understand why someone or some group would do something that seems completely irrational at first.
@Rudolf Hillers cool story bro👍
That's definitely true for "most people", but I don't think true for "most people" with effectively some sort of absolute power. It's seems extremely common for dictators, kings, really almost anyone who knows they'll face no repercussions for their actions to indulge their worst impulses. Slave owners for instance didn't have the power of a king, but they did as far as their slaves were concerned.
@@88mphDrBrown That’s very different, both dictators and kings usually do face consequences, specially for inaptitude, all it takes is one uprising, one inefficient sector of the economy, etc. Slave owners faces no such challenge. Comparing Kings to Slave owners is ridiculous, I can respect a good king, no such thing as a good slave owner
There's a reason economics isnt a huge thing in schools
That’s sad but true. But I’ll confess I didn’t give a rats ass about any of this as a young person. As an older person I find economics tied into politics to be probably the most interesting subject there is. Even sports are political and economical.
@@robiandolo Geopolitical issues are fascinating.
Economists played a very big role in the rise of the Nazis. The appalling global effects of the Wall Street Crash helped to till the soil,through which the seeds of Nazism germinated.Look at the German election results before and after the Wall Street Crash.

The reasons why Hitler went to war are perfectly and exhaustively explained by Hitler himself in Mein Kampf
I personally think what Hitler did to the Jews or even the concept of concentration camps as a whole is deplorable on all levels so in that sense I have no interest in reading his book but I'm not completely at odds with his rationale. When foreign people control the basic necessities of life and force you to trade or barter that's just a different kind of enslavement. I don't think even kings ever relied on others and usually the good kings generally wanted everyone to have food? I mean even if your not a genuinely nice person and a complete manipulative douche, making sure that your friends and family and neighbors are eating is kinda basic civilization building 101? Like I've never played a civilization game that starts you off from hut dwelling to trading for food? Pretty sure even hut dwellers know which plants do what, and what animals are yummy?

To understand WW2 needs to understand the aftermath of Ww1 and the Versailles threaty
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:
ua-cam.com/video/opDuw4OZ3QI/v-deo.html
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!
@@Tiberius_I You think the situation was better in any other place in central or eastern Europe? And France was actually devastated by war, not just by its own war economy. Germany had the most telephones in the world per one man in the times of crisis and no problems with civilian housing.
And Manstein saw Russia? 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. It behave like a spoiled brat that becomes worst every time you give it something. The 3 reasons to WWII are:
1 British appeasement
2 Soviet cooperation
3 US isolationism
Heres a lecture to support this:

threaty eh?
Exactly and also the conflict in the Danzig cooridor.. Hitler dident start WW2 .. He was helping his fellow Germans in Danzig from Polish massacre.. So Hitler made a local action against the poles which Churchill turned into a world war.
Totally wrong. It was Danzig which is historical Prussia where Germans were raped and murdered. Poles stalled talks for three yrs before Hitler said enough
Pretty sure Hitler went to war so we could have awesome war games to play for the last 40 years and well into the future!
God rest his soul
thankfully the Nazi story help to keep the Hollywood film industry going for years
Fallschirmjager OP pls nerf
Name a single awesome war game on a map of Europe. I know none. Usually the fact defeats any great game concept already. It would be more fun and balanced immediately when it is either Grand Theft Horse or Grand Theft Starship.
Well Wolfenstein 3D is pretty awesome!
You do realize that many Western economists, political leaders and movements still believe in the "zero-sum" game... it is why they hate small privately owned businesses and favor the massive corporations. It is also why foreign aid to third world countries almost never produces significant foreign industrialization, but instead ties their populations more firmly in the "trading food for stuff" category.
Give a man everything and he will be dependent. Teach a man to fish. And you wont have to feed him. Strong words to live by.
Former Cdn prime minister Pierre Trudeau once stated something to the effect that dealing with many small biz owners was like herding cats!

I am waking up to the fact that collectives have a tendency to rewrite history. I guess it makes people feel okay with their dishonesty, in addition to hanging on to power. It is incredibly taboo to seek out Hitlers side. Like he is quoted, "The victor will never be asked if he told the truth".

“I am now fifty. I would rather have the war now than when I am fifty-five or sixty.”
These were Hitler’s words to the Romanian foreign minister in the Spring of 1939
So in short:
"If goods don't cross borders, then armies will"
China does huge biz with United States and we seem to be drifting into a possible war ........
And what of Poland in 1939? They and other European countries sold FOOD to Germany and yet armies crossed the borders anyway!
And what of the Cold War in which Soviets and western nations made all sorts of nasty threats and only the threat of nuclear destruction prevented war i spite of the wheat that Warsaw Pact nations bought from the West!
Bottom line: Hitler trued to take what he wanted by force - trade was NOT a consideration!
Hence why European powers would venture out to the world for India after the spice trade ended after the Ottomans took the Constantinople. The motive is, "If we don't have it or much of it and others have lots of it, we'll go get it ourselves."
@@seanbrummfield448 Thank you for your bigoted REVISIONIST HISTORY that INSULTS WHITE PEOPLE!
Brits and other Europeans were quite happy to BUY all manner of stuff from other lands and other continents - its just TOO BAD that so many of those other continents were divided up into warring factions that all wanted access to European weapons and or wanted ALLIANCES with Brits so make their own position MORE SECURE!
How could the inhabitants of a small set of islands possibly CONQUER so much of the

Liberal propaganda meisters NEVER DISCUSS THAT QUESTION!
@@abellseaman4114Sure, you're not wrong. Like many African kingdoms, warlords, and tribes would make agreements with European Empires to protect them from enemies around them. They traded captured slaves from other enemy groups, gold, jewels, cocoa, rivers, plantations etc. with Europeans in return for protection and weapons. And even taking the natives of America. When the French and British arrived many tribes sided either Britain or France for protection, money and welfare. But, that's not my discussion being made. Like I said, they wanted to get something, and they were bound to get. No matter how. Either with agreements or war. It's been done throughout history. Where many parties have basically said, "What you have is important to me, my people, and our economies." Either if agreements went through or broke down was what gave the final answer. You even said it in your conclusion. They made agreements for what they may have found important, and if it was a fight about it, then so be it.
@@seanbrummfield448 The Egyptian story is is most informative!
Emperor Napoleon chose for unknown reasons to send a invasion force to Egypt and the French force promptly surrendered after Brits destroyed their fleet and supplies!
The Khedive -the Egyptian ruler who was NOT ACTUALLY A KING but rather was a royal governor appointed long before by Ottoman Empire to rule their PROVINCE - saw the Brits as a way to become king of Egypt!
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!
And yet LIE-beral history speaks of British Imperialism in Sudan!
And is it not ironic that RIGHT AFTER Sunda got its independence from Britain - the Sudanese slave trade resumed and now in these modern times the trade includes the sale of organ harvested by force from unwilling slaves!
Yet LIE-berals see ONLY BRITISH imperialism!
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.
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. For example, Germany has always been against Ukraine joining NATO and EU, but because Germany barely has any say in NATO, it kowtowed to the US at the NATO summit in 2008. Militarily, Germany is nothing. All this talk of "Hitler had to start WW II, it had no choice" is obvious bullshit, it sounds like nazi apologism. In the end, the nazis severely diminished the power of Germany in the long run.
Agreed. Very Well Put.
@@Broodkast8 The way the video is structured, and titled. It's about why Hitler had to start WW2, and it is written, within the confines of Hitlers thought process and logic. 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. Someone who will look at Germany's military, and is willing to step on toes and toss half of it away in order to create an effective force.
Ironically enough the main architects of Bretton Woods were Jewish.
Thank you for providing a more balanced view of history. I have always suspected that the current presentation about Germany was biased. You would get attacked or laughed at by most for even questioning it. Thanks again.
The historical presentation of Germany at that time was created by their enemies after they lost the war. It being 'biased' is not even a real question just a cold hard fact.
More importantly - if you question the narrative of the Germans being the baddies, then you are *also* questioning the narrative of the allies being the good guys and thus will be inevitably attacked by the allies' supporters who will not tolerate you questioning their or their predecessor's accomplishments regardless of what may or may not have been the actual situation back then.

10:33 This is why we need to learn history in detail. It helps us understand why the tragic major events happened and helps prevent another tragedy like those from happening again. Many people mistakenly believe that the people who study tragic events such as WWII are weird. Many of them even assume that we support the wrongs that were done during that time. 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. The reality is that we can't prevent another tragedy from happening if we don't know the signs.

Another tragedy is most likely unavoidable.

Those who built America were not a "diversity" of people as you claimed. It was the English and their descendants, whose origins are the Germanic peoples of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes who migrated to Britain. They were the pioneers who expanded America and determined the values to be followed. Later, other European immigrants from ancient civilizations appeared in cities such as New York and Chicago and more recently there has been a large invasion of people from Central and South America whose origins are mostly indigenous. And other peoples from Asia and the Middle East, all taking advantage of the ready-made nation. And so we can already see signs of accelerated decline in the richest nation in the world. And if you want to go further, which are the richest and most developed in the world countries? They are the European countries with populations of Germanic origin: Scandinavian countries, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Belgium and those colonized by England: USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealandia.

As the Japanese have said, "All war is born out of a poverty." I believe the Japanese also had similar feelings about how the world economics would go if they didnt take action.

Probably because it did not fit a political agenda for those who want to teach history. It makes the bad guys...too human.
The "Japanese went to war because oil exports to them were limited/restricted" has been taught. But it is treated as if the only reason Japan needed the oil was to keep the war machine running. Somehow Japan did not have any meaningful industry, but no one can explain how a non-industrial country managed to wage a wide scale war for more than 10 years before the attack on Pearl Harbor. Did all the ships and planes just magically appear?

Why?...because they were starving. Thats called Poverty.
tbh, some things hitler said are happening rn, after ww2 the poor nations got industrialized and had a population boom because first world countries traded their machinery, in the last 40 years we saw a major influx of immigrants in europe and US, and right now all major countries in europe and the US are polarized much like a class-war he refered to.
I disagree with some of what he said (Although you never know if he actually said these things) but for the most part he was right.
He was honest, unlike 100% of modern politicians. I do not know a single honest politician in the Democracies. They are authoritarians with bad intentions and the worst part is, is theres no accountability - we do not actually know who runs the show, these are all puppets.

The " class war " happened because the us wanted Iraq's oil. And it's not relevant in the majority of the world.

TL:DR - Shrinking market summary; "It is the idea that the market for an industrialized nation's goods tends to shrink as other nations become equally industrialized. The reasoning is that those other nations will also be able to service the same market."
Hitler embarked on a war economy upon coming to power because the country was in a depression. He was essentially a Keynesian and ended the depression way earlier than the Allies did. This was one source of his popularity.
He achieved that vicariously on two continents .
It had the same effect on the U.S economy
The depression was already slowly being fixed whilst Hitler came to power, Hitler just took the credit.
False by all the data, even at the height of the war the budget of the military was only about 30% of the GDP. America got out of the depression by forcing a military economy Germany did not.

In the early eighties I studied «history of ideologies» in school. And all of the points you lay out, including the idea of «shrinking economy», were taught. However the class was a new concept to see if there was any great interest from students and teachers. Sadly it was later halted. To see your video today is a reminder of best teaching I ever had when I was a young student.
“You must understand, the leading Bolsheviks who took over Russia were not Russians. They hated Russians. They hated Christians. Driven by ethnic hatred they tortured and slaughtered millions of Russians without a shred of human remorse. It cannot be overstated. Bolshevism committed the greatest human slaughter of all time. The fact that most of the world is ignorant and uncaring about this enormous crime is proof that the global media is in the hands of the perpetrators.” ~ Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
The Treaty of Versailles after WWI did not allow Germany to recover quickly. Someone like Hitler was inevitable after that. If America had minded its own business and stayed out of WWI the war would have ended in a draw. And over 100,000 Americans would not have been sent to prison for protesting entry into the war. Some people ask the German people could stand by and do nothing, becoming deciples. After witnessing the events worldwide in 2020-2022 no one needs to ask that question anymore.

Getting to know more about the fault in the shrinking markets concept would be really interesting. Would love to see a video by you about this!
Simple answer:
- Economy isn't a win-or-lose game. You can be a small country trading with a big country and you don't get poorer because of that, both countries get richer. So Hitler had an unfounded fear.
- You don't have to be self-sufficient. Lots of countries today produce very little food and are instead providers of services. They use the money they get from selling services to buy food from abroad.

The Poles ignored and declined every discussion Hitler wanted.
Germany could have gotten off very well by militarizing like we saw, then taking those weapons, and selling them to other nations. Very profitable situation.
The issue is that their main trading partners would of been again, nations aligned with them: Japan, Italy, Hungary, maybe Bulgaria, Finland and the USSR. The Western Allies were generally uninterested in stockpiling weapons before 1938 as they had the memories of the Great War in mind and their economies and policies were heavily based off peace in mind. So, it would necessarily only be profitable towards a select few nations.

Is the starting of WWII really the invasion of Russia, not either the invasion of Poland or the declaration of war by France and Germany?
"[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.
I think part of what TIK was saying is that despite having the bulk of the war infrastructure (planes, tanks etc) he didn’t have the fuel to run them for the time needed to achieve his goal. That’s what makes invading Russia even more stupid. Basically he was in Vegas snd bet his house on a pair of 3s.
The US didnt have a war economy, how did they build an army?

When Japan struck, it was total mobilisation.. and two years later in 1943 they were ready to tackle fortress europe
One must remember that Britain at the time was an empire where the sun never set. No wonder Hitler was thinking that the whole world would be lost for resources for consumption.

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.
War is always about money, resourses & profit, thats why NATO and the US especially are escalating Ukraine to a possible Nuclear war, their empire is declining, they want resources (the natural resources there, as well as the other things we are not allowed to mention on youTube). The scary thing as no declining empire has ever had Nukes, what will they do in the death throws to try to keep power?
thank you for making sense of a very complex situation. There were so many factors in so many unrelated fields and you make it all understandable.

After the crop failures of 1934 and 1935, the reserves of grain and other foodstuffs became low and the foodstuffs import dependency of Germany was seen by Hitler as one of the decisive factors leading to defeat in the First World War. Indirect military investment included broadening the industrial base by means of investment in capital goods or assuring quick convertibility of consumer industries for war production. In October 1936, Hermann Goering became the head of the new ministry responsible for the Plan and a new phase in Germany’s economic history began.

From everything I have been taught about the war, Hitler did not expect the invasion of Poland to start the massive the war that it did.

Yes, exactly!

"Hitler was not crazy."
A few minutes later...
"So here are the batshit crazy things Hitler believed...".

True... he was batshit crazy about the influence of jewish people.
There's a difference between the kind of schizophrenic insanity of illogical decisions that some people say about Hitler, and starting with a false base premise, but following sound logic from there.
😂 Exactly i was thinking.... But that time many mainstream biologist, scientists believed in many race theory... Especially in Europe...
He mixed up the idea of two species interbreeding with the idea of the same species with new blood from within the species. New blood is sometimes called hybrid vigor and is a good thing. It promotes health and vigor but the blonde hair which is a recessive gene tends to go away. Not necessarily a bad thing in a warming climate where more sunlight gives you skin cancer if your skin pigment is too light. Remember that perfectly unique albino gorilla that died of skin cancer several years ago? Some of Hitler's psudoscience did not work out well for him. In management of government affairs, he kinda liked departments to fight with each other rather than cooperate, thinking it was more Darwinian. That often wasted resources in his new reich.
Your theory of shrinking markets makes a lot of sense. And the timing of the war had to do a lot with competition for oil which is another story. And the fact that Stalin was also preparing for war with Germany, just expecting it to happen two or three or more years later according to Stalin's timetable. As the USSR was rapidly industrializing. And the story was that a lot of its industrial machinery west of the Urals was built on skids. In case of war.
Another fault in Hitler's thinking though, is that trade is a zero sum gain. Economics shows us that it is not. Capitalism encourages economies to work to their individual strengths, and that diversity of strengths leads to cheaper goods and services on both sides of these equations. An efficient farm economy working in tantum with a country with an efficient manufacturing economy working with a country with an efficient natural resource extraction economy, benefiting all in a synergistic way. If tariffs and transport are not a problem. Some artists do not understand economics and think trade involves one person stealing from another in some way.
TIK your over complicating it. He started the war to achieve the objectives set out in his parties manifesto on the 24th Feb 1920, which was mainly focused on reversing the effects of the Versailles treaty.

Everything else was bluster, spin and justification. The idea he was ever one thing; anything that didn't serve immediate purpose or even that clever is absurd. He is more easily defined by what he hated than what he thought, instinctive not intelligent, a product of multitudes not a single event.
Too often our perspective of history is a series of absolute events, like tectonics and volcanos. But his inevitability was not absolute, his chance came only at the confluence of millions of variables. We have made him a repository for all that was evil and set him adrift from the human world as a monster.
The truth is shrinking markets, imperial markets, blood eugenics, superiority of 'civilised' peoples in naturally forming 'nations', spiritual destiny through popular culture - it's what most late 19th Century Europeans and Americans thought about the world. Thats why so many enabled Hitlers rise, willingly or not.
Nice summary
David Rendall: Your description seems to fit Trump better than Adolf, but both also. I've always thought (to myself anyway) that Adolf always believed himself and had a consistent madness along the lines of Mien Kampf (Jews, blood, Aryans, Bolshevism, war.........). He seemed to live in a compartmentalized way but the nature of his logic regarding Germany (however you describe it) held steady from 192? to the end.
Tik is good at bringing new detail to WW2. He may be good at this "inner logic" of Hitler thing - I may just read enough that he's suggested till I'm either convinced one way or another or too tired to go on.
The road to hell is paved by good intentions
That's why you should only judge government policy by its results not its intentions
Well said. Still, I think there's enough evidence to suggest that the Nazi's antisemitic platform was based on mid-1800's ideology.
The concepts of aryan racial purity and Jewish ingroup preference predates Mein Kampf by, at least 40 years.
Basically, I'm saying that this didn't just come from 'naive good intentions'. Hitler's philosophy was likely based on older pseudoscientific ideology.
You are right, Hitler probably started off with having the best intentions for the people he considered 'Aryan'. BUT, his thoughts on eugenics was, most likely, based on older ideas; Thus paving the way for the atrocities that followed.

@Alexandros to support what @TIK says: The German population was highly disappointed with liberalism/ capitalidm, because it lead in the eyes of Germans to about 20years of consistent economic crisis in Germany. And the Jews were the personification of the structure that lead to this suffering despite the efforts and hardships that Germans went through to improve their situation.
Also I am not convinced that people thought of the marking as shrinking, but were looking at it from a mercantile perspective=> Limited resources for a growing amount of players/ world population

That economic "theory" about shrinking markets sounds like a board game economy. It's not even close to accurate about real economies, even back then in the those days of high trade barriers.
First of all, the whole premise of cities+industry vs. food surplus is completely wrong. Cities are the result of having food surplus in the first place, and crucially the access to efficiently transport it to the city. A city in the middle of 19th century Russia with fields all around, had worse food security than London, thanks to the bottleneck of transportation by wooden cart on muddy "roads". When the area immediately around the city had crops failure, it was extremely expensive to push in enough food from miles and miles away by muscle power on uneven roads, often leading to rationing and famine. Meanwhile London can efficiently transport in food from whichever place has a season of abundance that month.
France, USA, Argentina (which was rich back then) and other Western countries were among the top food producers as well. It was the poor, under-developed countries that struggled with famine, not the other way around.
I have yet to see a country industrialize effectively by primarily selling food or other base resources. The tools bought back tend to be for continuing to make those same resources. Own industry is developed by own creation (slow), or by creating economic incentives for others to invest in your production capability.
Jens Danbolt they didn’t have the benefit of watching ISI fail Latin America
"Shrinking Markets" was not the reason why Hitler did things (Germany had an embargo was was really not trading with most nations; it had to barter to manage to get deals with South American nations despite western allied pressure). It was though, in a way, the reason for the Kaiser going to war in 1914, though - back then all expected Russia to overtake Germany in a few years.
That's what happens when you let the artist make the decisions.
@Ring-a-ding-ding baby That happens with socialists - a lot.
It sounds likd you're criticizing TIK for the faulty theory of shrinking markets, but it was Mr H who held that theory, not TIK
It is very important to understand the 'logic' of the people who make momentous decisions. This has been an insightful expose of the 'logical' decisions which led the Nazi regime to catastrophic ends.
I suppose the main lesson not learned from WW2 is that conspiracy theories can kill millions.
Indeed. Today we have the Russia collusion conspiracy theory which might well lead us to nuclear war just because of some alleged Russian Facebook ads against Hillary Clinton. It's McCartyism on steroids but the left and right are both in on it this time...
There is a difference between theories and practise
yeah, well what about the millions killed during Holodomor? nobody includes them in the millions count.
Since Israel, as a state, was promised in the Balfour Declaration and has been, since its inception, propped up by “Aryan” nations, would this have any affect on Hitler’s view on modern day Israel?
Israel was created, defended, supplied and funded by white Europeans and always has been. So it just proves the idea even more.
The best examples that prove Addy wrong would be China, Japan, South Korea, Singapore etc and even then ALL of those countries needed the industrialisation and technology created by whites or would have easily been taken over.
