You only have to read Mein Kampf (written by Adolph Hitler) and in particular Chapter 5. Here you will find that the Jews (in Hitler's mind) had little if any thing to do with World War I. While he rambles about a number of events and actions leading to World War I, the Boer War play large in his thoughts.
Here he is talking about what impacted his thoughts as a youth and states in part, "The Boer War appeared to me like a summer lightening."
Later he states, "The Russo-Japanese War already found me much more mature and also more attentive. At that time I had taken sides more for national reasons, and when settling my opinions I had once taken the side of the Japanese. In the defeat of the Russians I saw also a defeat of the Austrian Slavic nationalities."
And then later he stated (referring to subsequent years), "Already during my Viennese time there hovered over the Balkans that fallow sultriness which usually announces a hurricane, but at times a brighter light flashed up only to return immediately into the uncanny darkness. But then came the Balken War, and with it the first gust of wind swept over a Europe which had grown nervous. The time that followed, however, weighed heavily upon the people like a nightmare, brooding like the feverish heat of the tropics, so that in consequence of the continued anxiety, the felling of the impending catastrophe finally turned into longing; might Heaven at last let Destiny, no longer to be restrained,take its full course! The first powerful lightening flashed upon the earth; the storm broke out, and the thunder of the heavens mingled with the roaring of the batteries of the World War."
First copyrighted in 1925 Hitler was clearly looking back and seeing many world wide events being focused on Europe leading to World War I. That he was more wrong than right (even in hindsight) is obvious but he was not at that time seeking Jews as the source of the War.
Over time he found it (to his needs) to focus on the Jews as the cause of the problems of the German people to enhance his opportunity to control the country, but at the time nearer World War I that had not yet come to be. If he was good at anything it was the revising history for current political goals.

Several prominent people who were against the Kaiser Wilhelm II and its World War I, let me state it was a very stupid and unnecessary war, were accidentally Jewish, if not all. Just think of Karl Liebneckt, a German marxist intellectual and politician, and the petite marxist Rosa Luxemberg. Both were assassinated by rightwing German WWI officers. It is rumored that Gen Ludendorf, who later helped Hitler in in the 1920's Munich Putsch, was one of the involved. This may have helped, already in an antisemitic countries like Germany and Austria, Hitler to give him an idea of a Jewish conspiracy. Of course many more nonJews Germans, like writers Hermann Hesse, Thomas Mann and Bertold Brecht, were also against the Kaiser and its war. Hitler's antisemitism came from his days in Vienna. Since before German's unification of 1870 under the Kaisers, many German and Austrian artists and intellectuals were antisemitic. Guys like German composer Richard Wagner and philosopher Friederich Nietszche. The term "antisemitism" was coined in the Germany and Austria of those times.

Because he hated himself. Let me give an explanation for. His father used to be supposedly a Jew and he used to viciously beat Hitler whilst he used to be a little one. As he obtained older he ultimately discovered that his grandmother could were a maid to a Jewish family. This Jew could have got her with Alois (Hitlers father). If Hitlers grandmother obtained pregnant from a pregnant Jew then that could (in Hitlers brain) make Alois part Jewish, and if Alois is part Jewish that implies that Hitler could be 1 / 4 Jewish. Young Hitler associated Jews together with his father and on the grounds that his father used to be so abusive he started to feel all Jews have been like that. Which implies that Hitler himself could even be "evil" or "soiled". Because of Hitler already loathing himself for fitting a failure and now not being ready to avoid wasting his mother from melanoma ect. He started to venture his self loathing onto the Jews. Whatever characteristics that Hitler hated in himself he ether projected it onto the Jews or different individuals he deemed now not natural. Remember that Hitler now not most effective killed Jews but additionally Gypsies and Black individuals. By killing those individuals he used to be rather seeking to kill the facet of himself that he loathed, however he knew what he used to be doing used to be unsuitable so he persisted to loath himself which induced him to reserve better mass murders. It used to be a spiraling cycle that could not ever finish. I realise that it used to be debunked years in the past that Hitler used to be 1 / 4 Jewish however all that rather concerns is what he suggestion. If he suggestion he used to be Jewish it isn't important if he used to be or wasn't.

i always heard that he blamed the french. it was himmler that had this big "purity" belief. however, it is eaiser to blame a group of people that a lot of people were already prejudiced about. dont forget that some of his ranking folks were jews too. a lot about hilter is a red herring, so you have to take some of the stories you hear with a grain of salt. Another FYI, hitler was rumored to have shyphillis, a disease that eat away at tissue, including brain tissue.

To start his theory of a superior race, the Aryans. It just helped him motivate the war torn Germany into siding with him.

i dont know. i have heard from both my english teacher and history teacher that he himself was a jew. as far as im conserned hitler was just a scrwed up little man. i have also heard from my history teacher that he was abused by his grandparents along with his father. his father had died when he just a boy, he was close to his mother but then his mother died so then he had to live with his grandparents who were abusize as i had said before. so i asume that he didnt realy feel like the jews were to blame but he had to blame some group of people for the cause.

He didn't. WWII was fought in part because of Hitler's wanting to take over, and rid the world of Jewish people.
