If only you knew. Germany wasn't hungry for revenge. It was only Hitler. He felt that the penalties of WWI was too severe. They would have finished paying of the debt France and Britain imposed on them in the 80's. He felt like they were getting punished too much. He kept breaking the treaty slowly and Britain, as they are, felt sorry for them and let them off. Then he started slowly taking back the Rhineland (de militarised area in Germany's industrial part) and Britain again let him off. He then moved into Poland and so on. Then Britain threatened war if he took over Belgium, their allies, which he did and then Britain went to war.

Don't even get me ****ing started on the "America kicked their arses part" because you joined in in 1917 when the war started in 1914 and ended in 1918. And for WWII, the war started in 1939 and ended in 1945. When did America join? 1941 and you only joined because of Pearl Harbour (the correct spelling)

Actually the majority of the German population was angry and felt mistreated by the reparations the Allies imposed on Germany.

Hitler only played off of that anger to gain power.

Also if I may edit in that Hitler gained his power through legal means. Without the emotions of the mass public to play off of...Hitler would of never gained power.

True, however not many Germans agreed with the invasions of other countries. And many knew what he was doing to the Jews, which some even harboured them to protect them. Hitler was a good leader, minus the war. He got unemployment up to pretty much 0%. That's why many of the Germans liked him and voted for him in the elections. Not many agreed with his invasions.

Invading which countries? Eastern Europe prior to the war or Western Europe during the war?

Your point was about what he did prior to World War II.

Hitler did bring unemployment to nearly 0% (more like 2-3%). That also doesn't include part time unemployment.

Despite the major unemployment drop...the standard of living of the German people did not improve. The jobs they usually performed were to prepare for war.

These jobs payed very little and did not improve the standard of living.

The only thing Hitler was a genius of was public speaking.
