Invading Russia was always the plan, it was THE reason for Nazism to exist. Invading France was necessary after the Allies DoW, Hitler's real mistake was in breaking the Treaty of Munich and so revealing himself to be a liar. After that, there was no more room for a negotiated settlement over Poland since the Allies had no confidence Hitler would confine his ambitions to the Polish Corridor.

Becase he wanted France. Among other things. So he needed his east border secured. That's why he tried to ally with Poland and when that failed he allied with Soviet Union which some faggots still ignore. Then they defeated Poland waited a bit and turned to France that was still patiently waiting for the attack all this time.

>I know that england declared war on Germany afterwards, but why did he decide to invade france?


France also was subjected to declare war on Germany because of muh treaty of versailles

But thats my point. He could have just holed up and let france and england wear themselves out trying to beat down his door.

Initially Hitler only wanted the rhineland, which was taken from germany in WWI. (and austria of course, which he took without firing a shot.)

I know, but why did he invade? Why not fight a defensive war? With the Rhineland, he had access to ports and was no longer land locked.
