Account for the defeat of Germany in the second World War
Being so successful in the beginning of the war (1939-40), Germany slowly collapses. What did go wrong? Why did the country with its expansionist ambitions so unexpectedly for itself loses great war? Was it mainly Hitler’s responsibility because his calculations went wrong? Yes, indeed it was. Bat there were also some strong factors, that led to such a fatal for Germany end of War, such as weak and unreliable allies – Italy and Japan, unexpectedly strong and stubborn enemies, but mainly, as I mentioned before, Hitler’s massive miscalculations and failures. So, as I said, till the year 1940 things were going good for Germany. After it’s quite successful Blitzkrieg, Germany found itself in quite a succeeded position – it controlled already big part of Europe: Denmark, Holland, N&W France, and Poland were under Germany’s control.

The most far-reaching escalation of the European conflict came with Hitler’s decision to launch his attack upon the Soviet Union. As Hitler hoped, this attack upon Soviet Union would leave Britain with no prospect of future support in Europe, and would leave Japan without any distraction in its impending confrontation with USA. On 22 June 1941 USSR was invaded. Scared of repeating of Napoleon’s mistake, Hitler dismissed his general’s insistence upon a direct assault on Moscow and made the Soviet capital only one of three objectives for his army.
