Would Hitler invade the whole world if he had succeeded conquering Europe?

Question

He wanted more "lebensraum" for the Aryans, but would he want the Americas too?

Answer 1

Yes, and he might have succeeded had he not run out of raw materials perhaps most importantly, oil.  He would have had a very difficult time invading the Americas but might have been able to do so.

Most likely. That guy was hungry for power and authority.

Answer 6

Of course he would have. He wanted to have a perfect German world.

Answer 7

First off, Hitler was an insane maniac. Brilliant at politics in the sense of getting people to follow him, but incredibly stupid at commanding armies. Most of his generals and even an admiral made suggestions on how Germany could have won WW2, but Hitler insisted on ignoring them, and as a result, he found himself at war with the Soviet Union, the United States, the British Empire, and various other allied powers, some of which coming from countries conquered from 39-40, including France and Poland. Germany did not have the resources to defeat all of them at once. Hitler's decisions doomed Germany to defeat in WW2.

Had the Soviet Union collapsed in the initial German invasion, would Hitler have attempted to conquer the world? Unlikely. Germany did not have the navy to cross the Atlantic, without absorbing the British Royal Navy, and most allied plans called for the British fleet going to Canada should the British fail. And with the US building a "two ocean navy" (even before Pearl Harbor), any attempt at conquering the western hemisphere would have been impossible, at least not in the 40s. At the same time, it is important to remember that Germany was not acting alone, Germany was a member of the Axis, and while Italy proved to be easily dominated by Germany, Japan was not, and it was actually Japan's refusal to try and cooperate with Germany that hurt Hitler in his attempt to conquer the Soviet Union. Japan had plans for the pacific, and Hitler could not afford to risk war with his most powerful ally while Canada, Australlia and by 41, potentially the US, fighting against him.

He might have tried, but in the end, he would fail, either from overwhelming pressure from the allies, restrictions caused by the alliances he was already in, or from his own stupidity.

Answer 8

He would have wanted the Americas especially for the natural resources but from a logistical standpoint he never could have conquered this part of the world.  I doubt he would have even attempted it without the atomic bomb and they had stopped working on that long before the war ended.

Answer 9

Maybe his successor might have aspired to really conquer the world, assuming the Reich did not fall apart even faster than the Soviet Union. It is hard to believe that such an inhumane system was sustainable in the long run.

He would not have lived long enough himself. Born in 1889 he died at 56. Given another fifteen or twenty years he could have consolidated the Reich in Europe and the conquered Soviet territories and incorporated parts of Africa and the Middle East, but eventually he would have been too over extended, digesting his conquests to take over the Western Hemisphere or Eastern and Southern Asia.

That's my guess anyway.

Answer 10

Obviously. He invaded Russia 2 months after he declared an alliance with them. The man was insane...

Answer 11

The answer contrary to what many believe is no.  One only needs to see Hitler's own writings and views to see that had he had his way he would have like to see a Germany dominate the Eurasian landscape, a Britain that dominated with its empire, and the Americans dominating the western hemisphere.

What he saw as the obstacle to this was his idea that the Jewish elites that ran the banking and credit systems of the US and Britain would not only oppose him but get in the way of these 3 "civilizations" living in harmony.

Had Hitler beat the Russians in 41-42, the English with or without America would have been hard pressed not to sue for peace.  Hitler's concept for peace never changed.  The British refusal to accept his vision is what continously frustrated him.  To top it all of was his certainty that Jewish elites in America were backing up his London foes.

If Britain had fallen and been overrun, America would have accepted German domination of Europe.  After all, America at the time was not exactly the beacon of equal rights.

From his earliest days Hitler always said he would never want a war with England or America again.  Had either country agreed to stop hostilities as long as he could do with "his" hemisphere what he liked, the war would have ended there.

Answer 12

I cannot say for definite.  However, he certainly stood a very good chance, before the American came to the rescue.

D Day... a great movie.  May its memory never die in our hearts..... FREEDOM FOR ALL NATIONS.

Answer 13

He would have wanted it all, but like so many with his value system, he would have underestimated his opponents. Just as he underestimated the Russians and this is something great field commanders understand. So the end would have been the same...it just would have taken longer and the causalities would have have been higher.
