I think the main reason for WW2 was to create a more powerful and technologically advanced society. Technological breakthroughs being in other areas of science as well. It would seem that the whole world benefited by accelerating these challenges in a shorter amount of time. Some technologies have proved they can be used for peace instead of war. The devastation in Japan made people think more than once about this new weapons ability to destroy major populations and to prefer more diplomatic solutions instead. This was the whole worlds shock and awe. This last World War could have been far worse if we all had had this back then. I really don't believe in the ethnic excuse of WW2.

No. WW II was a political war to the root. Germany was a desperate nation due to all the restrictions imposed on them at the Treaty of Versailles. Already at the time the whole world was in an economic recession, and when Hitler came along, the people of Germany embraced him. The racial genocide was just the madness of a man who was seen as a saviour for a people.

Ethnicity was all but irrelevant by the 30s, because of intermarriage between Europeans and Hebrews over a thousand years.

Ethically the Jews were far ahead of the Germans, which caused jealousy and a great propaganda tool for the Nazis. The genocide was a way to unite the German people who disliked the Jews, but were suspicious of the Nazi Party and Hitler.

The point of the war was the restore the general German ego from the defeat and forced guilt from WW1. Hitler just used his racist ideals and manipulated the people that the cause was the Jews and not the signing of the treaty of Versailles where the Germans took most of the blame for the war.

No, not at all. It had much more to do with Germany's position as the strongest Economy in the world, Russia's rapidly increasing power as a military and economic force and Germany's hunger for the rear eastern oil fields to supply her technologically advanced and heavily mechanized military.
Once again, Oil smears itself over the pages of history.

It was more of a contributing factor than a main point. Hitler took advantage of religious and cultural differences in the German population. He needed a THEM to hate.
Religion also helped shape the psyche of the German people. They were conditioned to obedience to authority.
Other factors were as much if not more important. Politics , economics ,treaties, the Russian revolution. Hitler himself.

Christianity has an wide courting with Judaism, both traditionally and theologically.

Not even close. Germany was chafing under the restrictions of the Treaty of Versailles. That 'agreement' was a disaster just waiting to happen. As usual, the Jews and Crystalnacht were just an excuse. WWII was economic.

Nope

Neither the Nazis nor the Japanese were Christians in any realistic sense.

WWII was mainly about fascists and their desire to conquer empires - Germany to create a "Greater Germany" for the Germanic peoples; Japan to secure the access to the natural resources it needed to survive. The clash of ideologies had very little to do with Christians and Jews. The Jews were unjustly blamed by the Nazis for a host of problems including unemployment, profiteering, poverty, inflation etc etc and basically were used to focus people's attention onto a common enemy during the rise of Hitler and the Nazis.

The main cause of WWII was economic. However, we can definitely see the state humanity has sunk to in that so many ethical/moral people were complicit in Hitler's atrocities, or simply ignored the plight of others while thanking God that they themselves weren't "different."

God must've been weeping for the ignorance and capacity for violence of his children! Do you suppose the Jews serve as the conscience of mankind?

Considering it to have been caused by "ethnical" differences certainly doesn't bode well for the Christian culture!
