If Hitler didn't want WWII to start, why did he annex Czechoslovakia and invade Poland? And if he didn't want to escalate WWII, why did he break the Soviet-Nazi Non-aggression Pact and invade the Soviet Union? If Hitler was such a smart guy, then he would've seen that these actions would stir shit. Why did he not just create an isolationist state for the Aryan race and deport all of the Jews?

Poland stole land after WW1 in treaty. Ethnic Germans were being slaughtered in the stolen land. Historically, because Hitler sent troops into Poland, he "started it," yet the matter of who starts wars is easily framable by media propaganda.

Still doesn't answer why he invaded the USSR when they were an ally

That should be obvious, seeing as how communism kills millions of people, and how bolshevism was bashed endlessly in NatSoc party documents and Mein Kampf.

They weren't an ally, they had a peace treaty. I can assure you that they weren't allies in the way that Americans are buddy-buddy with the West.

Gonna link some other guy in this thread who elucidated the Russian question before I did.

Quote from his linked article: "Just think about it and give credit where credit is due: Had it not been for "Barbarossa", you might not be alive today. The Bolshevik torture chambers and death pits which would claim millions of victims in the enslaved nations of the East would have spread throughout the West as well. This ghoul called "New World Order", now looming to swallow and spit out your children, was in the wings already in 1941, poised to unleash itself on Christianity."

Even in military defeat, Hitler saved your ass from the Red Menace.

What excuse did Hitler have for Czechoslovakia? I don't see how it can be argued that Hitler didn't want WWII to happen when he made these choices to expand Lebensraum. Regardless of where the borders were drawn by the Treaty of Versailles, invading surrounding countries is an act of war, not an act of peace.

In addition, how can it be argued that Hitler only wanted Lebensraum for the Aryan race and did not want to pursue world domination? He invaded almost all of Western Europe, which is plenty of space. He could've left it at that and devoted his military to defense and could've won the war, and then could've waited another 20 years to build up enough strength to invade the Soviet Union if they were still as much of a threat as your comment suggests. Instead, he decided to overstretch the German military and tried to invade the entirety of Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East in a span of less than 5 years.

The Sudetenland was filled with ethnic Germans. After WW2, the Czechs led these Germans on a Death March out of Czechoslovakia.

There's a kike-friendy source for you.

EDIT: Invasions of other countries is similar to the American debate about "first-strike." Diplomacy is not as cut-and-dry as you're making it out to be. Why let your enemy gather when war is an inevitability? Given a choice between first-strike and letting the potential Allied forces gather up for a first-strike, which do you think was the smarter move for Hitler?

The USSR situation was the same line of thinking. The Red Menace had already attempted to invade Poland and failed to do so a couple of decades before WW2. Their goal was global world communism. It was either Hitler struck first, or getting invaded by Stalin while his hands were tied with the Western front.

The commies proved with Poland that they weren't paragons of peace, either.
