It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (during which approximately 11 million people were killed)[1][2] and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (during which approximately one million people were killed, including the use of two nuclear weapons in combat),[3] it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.[4] The Empire of Japan aimed to dominate Asia and the Pacific and was already at war with the Republic of China in 1937,[5] but the world war is generally said to have begun on 1 September 1939[6] with the invasion of Poland by Germany and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and the United Kingdom. From late 1939 to early 1941, in a series of campaigns and treaties, Germany conquered or controlled much of continental Europe, and formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan. Following the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, Germany and the Soviet Union partitioned and annexed territories of their European neighbours, Poland, Finland, Romania and the Baltic states. The United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth were the only Allied forces continuing the fight against the Axis, with campaigns in North Africa and the Horn of Africa as well as the long-running Battle of the Atlantic. In June 1941, the European Axis powers launched an invasion of the Soviet Union, opening the largest land theatre of war in history, which trapped the major part of the Axis' military forces into a war of attrition. In December 1941, Japan attacked the United States and European territories in the Pacific Ocean, and quickly conquered much of the Western Pacific. The Axis advance halted in 1942 when Japan lost the critical Battle of Midway, near Hawaii, and Germany was defeated in North Africa and then, decisively, at Stalingrad in the Soviet Union. In 1943, with a series of German defeats on the Eastern Front, the Allied invasion of Italy which brought about Italian surrender, and Allied victories in the Pacific, the Axis lost the initiative and undertook strategic retreat on all fronts. In 1944, the Western Allies invaded France, while the Soviet Union regained all of its territorial losses and invaded Germany and its allies. During 1944 and 1945 the Japanese suffered major reverses in mainland Asia in South Central China and Burma, while the Allies crippled the Japanese Navy and captured key Western Pacific islands. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II Image: Bundesarchiv, Bild 102-10541 / Georg Pahl / CC-BY-SA 3.0 [CC BY-SA 3.0 de (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/de/deed.en)], via Wikimedia Commons

Hitler was the best thing to happen to humanity
-
Hitler made one MAJOR mistake: He attacked Russia...He should have known this was utterly stupid. Napoleon proved this long before. But Hitler, thinking himself a better strategist than his entire staff together choose to deny this. Together with a giant underestimation of the Russians, well, we now know the outcome...
-
As a young person alive and impacted by this war this guy's devastating fear of losing it has carried all this time. Pretending Hitler could have done better if he were less Hitler is like saying the sun would not shine if it were not made of hydrogen. His goal of invading Russia was not negotiable as the heart of his plans. He would have eventually faced atomic destruction had he lasted longer.

German vs Usa and Soviet and france and britain
Teamwork defaired german -
typical fucking PRE-END-OF-SOVIET-UNION western historian trash.
-
Germany quickly defeated the Russians in WW1, capturing millions of prisoners, and enjoying an advantagious peace treaty, ceding them huge territories. Experts in Hitlers time, were convinced that Communism had made Russia weaker. They believed Russia was ripe for the taking in 1941. A house of cards ready for collapse. This was a grave error.
-
Hiler became dictator in 1934, only after Hindenburgs death, not in 1933: Not too well informed on the subject.
-
That portrayal of alternate history is too clean by far. He theorizes Germany occupying almost a dozen countries for prolonged periods of time with minimal resistance and with Russia simply standing idly by. Despite Stalin's initial bromance with Hitler, I find it hard to imagine him sitting around in Poland while the Germans occupy the Greater Mediterranean region and cut off Russian access through Gibraltar and Suez. Of course an American focus on Japan would also enable much more focused application of force to win the Pacific Theater and then redirect resources to the Atlantic Theater.
-
Germany lost because fought against too many continents/nations.
-
Rommel was a Hitler created hero that people could look up to and be proud of, he was by no means the great general that the history books has made him out to be.
-
biggest mistake is to ally with japan.if hitler did not kill the jews , ally with japan... listen to his general... did not declare war on britian... he should have won.
-
Bullshit. Just another lying conformist historian.
-
I wish hitler won, he would've solved the jew problem

Hitler could never have won the war. His handlers ( yes he had handlers) who convinced him that he was a man of destiny* and put him in power, had a predetermined plan in which Hitler played only a part (there were plenty of backup individuals in case Hitler could not see the plan to fruition). Hitler winning the war was not part of that plan.
During his rise to power he could have been executed for treason. However, that was not part of the plan. So, his handlers protected him until he became Germany's dictator.
Hitler's national war machine was polluted by sleeper agents who answered only to these "Handlers". This agents would be activated an critical points to finesse the course of the plan. One of the best exploits of these agents was the constant setback of Germany's atom bomb project. This alone ensured that Hitler would never even get close to winning the war.
So, WHAT WAS THE PLAN AND WHO'S PLAN WAS IT? The plan is always the same; to gain political and economic power. So, who came up with the plan? Well that is fairly obvious; the individuals and families that became geometrically wealthier after the war. Look them up they are out there in the open for all to see. About eighty of them have more money the 3 billion of us. Again, eighty of them have more money than 3 billion of us.
* Read "The Prince" by Michiavelli. It shows how to convince individuals that they are destined to be key historical figures. In his
time Michiavelli was the perfect example of a handler. -
Is he jewish? I dont doubt his objectivity...
-

-
fantastic lecture i think this is as close to the truth about the wwII, that we will ever get
-

-

What infact made him loose, was The Deciphering of The Enigma Cryptographic Machines by Polish mathematitians. Easy as that.
