Hilter vs. United States

The article posted about Hitler’s intent on war with the U.S. seems very interesting, however not surprising though. Some theories suggest Hitler was only after the European continent, though a global empire seemed to be his true desire. The revelation that Hitler had written his thoughts on an eventual war on America demonstrates how it was in his long term plans after he could pass through a defeated Britain. It would be naive to think Hitler would want to co-exist with the United States if he had conquered Britain, Russia and the rest of the ‘old world’.

Even if Hitler were capable of conquering Britan and Russia I still think he would be unable to conquer into Africa and Asia. If he were, this would be something that would have been very unlikley for him to have seen within his lifetime. I agree that the United Sates would not be able to coexist with a Nazi Europe.

I also agree that co-existing would be out of the question for Hitler and the United States. It would have been very difficult for Hitler to conquer the US anyway condsidering the sheer size and the distance between Germany and the US. He would have few ways to move supplies and would no doubt meet resistance along the way.

Hitler could have conquered Africa easily if he had defeated Russia and Britain. The nations that were providing the most resources to Africa was the US and Britain and with Britain and Russia gone I find it hard to believe that the US could have held out longer in Africa. The supplies lines are just too long to cross in hostile Atlantic waters for America and Germany would have the vast resource from Britain but mainly Russia to feed its war machine
