whould hitler later conquer america if the United states didn't go into WW2?

Answer 1

The fact that Hitler declared war on the United States indicates that his plans for the expansion of the Reich may have included the US, sooner or later.

The Soviet Union would, however, have posed a continuing problem primarily because of the expanse of the territory that would have had to be occupied by the Germans had they somehow managed to conquer the Soviet Union. The resistance to the occupation would have drained German resources.

Answer 2

Germany was essentially a land power. They had no blue-water navy; the kind it takes to project power, nor did Germany have an extensive naval tradition. Germany would have had a difficult time invading the US; even if she could have neutralized the USSR.

In 1939 it became evident to scientists in the US that Germany might be researching a nuclear weapon. This eventually prompted Leo Szilard to approach Albert Einstein and the famous letter to FDR was written which was the start of the Manhattan Project.

The German "Bomb" was hampered by the fact that nuclear physics was considered "Jewish" science and did not get the funding it could have had. Additionally, Werner Heisenberg, the director of the German effort miscalculated the effective cross-section for slow neutron fission and thus thought the size of an effective bomb was in the 100-ton (total weight; not yield) range and so he thought a bomb could only be delivered by ship.
This seriously slowed the project.
In contrast the US, besides its ultimately successful bomb project had developed two delivery systems. The first became the B-29 which first flew in 1942 and eventually dropped the first atomic weapon over Hiroshima. The second was started in 1940 when it seemed Britain might be knocked out of the war and a bomber with the range to strike German targets from the US might be needed. This was called the "Hemisphere Defender" and became the B-36 (range 10,000 mi.) which first flew in 1946. Had Germany been more successful in the early part of the war the US would have hastened the development of both these projects and by 1945 would have had a nuclear strike capability against Germany.

It should be pointed out that during all of the Second World War the US outproduced ALL the other combatants COMBINED.

Answer 3

Stalin had plans on taking over Europe years before the war started, they invaded Poland and were beaten back to Moscow by around 1921
(with the help of American Mercenaries from WW1)
The strategy that Hitler had was, to fight them now because the longer I wait the stronger they will get.
Some of the mistakes that Germany made were, fighting with neighbors, underestimating the enemy and believing in Ancient Paganism.
Could they invade the U.S., no there are too many people that own guns.

Answer 4

Doubtful, as Nazi Germany lacked the naval power needed to invade.

Hitler's decision to declare war on the United States in 1941 was among the many stupid things that he did.

Answer 5

actually hitler is stupid. he should've easily learned from napoleon's nice winter trip to russia but instead made the same mistake.

even had hitler won ww2 in europe, he would've had not much left over to attack the US, he would be too busy dealing with the insurgents in conquered land

Answer 6

no he didn't have a navy capable of jumping the channel to get to England he certainly could not and would not have tried to even invade the USA. he had no real ambition to go off of main land Europe, he tried to bully England into surrender which became impossible to do after Churchhill took over power and reluctantly went into North Africa. so the US never.

Answer 7

No. He didn't have the NAVY to invade and sustain occupation. The US was waking up before we were attacked by the Japanese. We would have made it difficult to get here and VERY diffiucult to stay here.

Answer 8

If your saying Iraq or Iran is anywhere near the same threat to the US that Germany was during WW2 you're being obtuse

Answer 9

I think he would've begun by forming an "alliance", then eventually trying to get nazis into positions of power. america would've been tough to conquer, though, because we're a feisty people about out independence. Just ask the british.

Answer 10

No Russia. would have decimated Hitler over the long haul.
