After all the Allies were never very nice to Germany after World War One. I'll bet that if we (THE EVIL WICKED UNITED STATES) hadn't been so selfish about land in Europe, Asia, Africa, North America, South America and Australia and let Germany have some oil Hitler would not have had to be a little mean to a few people. OIL...yeah...that's it...World War II was about our greed for oil !!!
(last stupid left wing question of the night...I promise)

You are embarrasing the rest of us here in the left side of the political spectrum. Please stop.
If you want a somewhat serious answer, then no. Hitler's ascent to power and genocidal campaign was economically-motivated, but also politically. The only way that WWII could have been avoided would have been by either:
1- A less harsh Versailles Treaty
2- After WWI, giving economic loans to rebuild post-war germany
3- Acknowledging Hitler as a threat right from the beginning, and not even allowing him to take the Rhineland. (He had a very weak army until 1937 after all, although France and the UK did not know this at the time)
4- Hitler's mom hugging him more when he was a child.
5- Less anti-communist scaremongering rethoric that only served to strenghten the most extremist german parties.
6- A more efficient and cohesive League of Nations that actually had the balls to enforce an oil embargo on Italy and Germany right from the beginning. (Of course, this was contrary to the interests of western capitalists, who, as always, give a damn about human rights as long as they can keep making high profits...that's one of the chief reasons that caused the US to boycott the League, or that caused France and the UK to avoid putting an oil embargo on Mussolini when he invaded Abyssinia)
7- If large corporations (ie: Henry Ford) had not actively collaborated with Hitler, that would have been a deterrent as well.

No. Hitler even had a lover. She died with him. So yeah, hugs didn't work there!
Besides, it was about more then "oil" That's an over simplification of the events. It was about the re-unification of Germany. Giving the people an identity and a common enemy, a common purpose.
Certainly historians agree that after WWI Germany was over stripped and economically impoverished, but even so, there was a greater loss. A loss of a common identity in the German people. WWII gave them a new identity and put them back on top as a world power, and when somebody seeks power, there's no stopping them. No matter what you give them.
Not hugs.
Not oil.

It wasn't Hitler doing all those bad things. If you actually research it, Hitler would have been satisfied just deporting the Jews out of Germany. It was his right hand man, however who wanted to do more. Study up on it a bit, you might learn some interesting stuff. And hey, you never know, maybe a hug would have helped :)

What Hitler did was not necessarily the United States fault...we are partially to blame, we try to take land and resources that don't belong to us. I also think it was his own parents' fault, maybe he didn't get enough love as a child, and that made him sad and angry. Greed causes people to do evil things.

No, he was a diabolical maniac hooked on meth.
You think experimentation on human beings without anesthesia
is something he could have been talked out of?
Six million Jews starved to death & killed. One & half million
children killed. Two & half million from Poland & elsewhere.
Auschwitz still stands today, so hopefully, the horror he caused
will never be repeated.

Other big people tried the whole live and let live, group hug therapy ... all that did was get more people either killed or taken over ... appeasement does not work with hardliner despots. Hitler was proof of that.

no, you're weird
I can't believe you talk about America like that!
We're awesome!
Plus Hitler was sick and corrupt and power hungry.
"Give someone an inch and they'll become a whole ruler"
So germany made the mistake of giving him just a little bit of power because then he wanted more and became evil.

Hitler was once imprisoned for trying to overthrow the Democratically Elected German Government, I think the German Govt should have hung him to death for Treason and then the Nazi uprising would never have happened.

Maybe if Hitlers mother hadn't died when he was 9 years old. . .and his father didn't force him into a line of work he despised. . .and the art school he applied to accepted him. . .who knows? Then again. . .maybe someone WORSE might have come along.
