Germany has always wanted to conquer the earth, and underestimated countries such as Portugal, which had been colonizing Africa since Britain and other countries that had been unable to fight back. Because after the occupation of the French mainland, under the leadership of Charles de Gaulle, the North African colonies were the main bases, and they have been fighting for the restoration of France. Germany's opening up of the North African theater was the need of the war and the needs of the current situation.
On the one hand, he wanted to completely conquer France, the old capital country, and on the other hand, he wanted to occupy North Africa and plunder its rich resources in order to make the war more favorable to Germany. However, Mussolini's Italian army was too weak and defeated, and for the sake of the above interests, Hitler decided to send the "Desert Fox" Rommel to North Africa to invade Africa and fight the British and French armies.
-
Since under Mussolini, Italy sent hundreds of thousands of troops to Libya. However, due to the extremely poor equipment of the Italian army, in 1939 it was defeated again and again, and almost even the base camp was lost. The only way to do this was to ask Hitler to lend a hand.
Germany sent Rommel to North Africa to coordinate the Italian army against the British.
-
This is because taking North Africa will allow us to plunder resources to the south, but we will be able to establish a base area and make convenient preparations for our future march into Asia.
-
Two people are to blame for this! One was Mussolini, whose Italian army was too poor, and the Germans had to come to the rescue. The second place is Rommel, originally Hitler's purpose was to let Rommel stabilize the situation in North Africa, then he knew that Meier made North Africa the main battlefield.
Not only was the Western Front weakened, but the later Eastern Front was as thin as it was affected!
-
Italy was not fighting well in North Africa, and Germany, as an ally, had to send troops to fight in North Africa for the sake of Italy.

Tell you, Germany lacks everything but coal and potash!
Iron ore and timber depend on Sweden.
Nickel needs Finland.
Manganese ore, magnetite, nickel ore, copper ore needed the USSR.
Oil needs the Soviet Union, Romania, Hungary, as well as the United States, Mexican saltpeter, Chile, but Germany has a developed synthetic ammonia industry and can make up for it!
Aluminum ore, antimony ore, etc., Hungary, Yugoslavia, etc.
Tungsten ore, antimony ore, fierce, tin, bristles, tung oil, China.
Molybdenum mines, Norway, where there is still heavy water.
Chrome Ore, Turkey.
Tungsten ore, pyrite, Spain, Portugal.
The elastomer is made in Germany itself, and it is quite passable!
How's that, I'm amazing!
-
Germany basically lacks important strategic resources. Coal does not solve the problem, it is very unsuitable for ** equipment as a fuel, and it is even more tragic as a petrochemical product, Germany, which lacks oil, has been very dependent on the Proyesti oil fields in Romania from the very beginning. There is no shortage of iron, but this thing is useless, and there is less copper in Germany, and there are fewer other rare metals.
-
There was a lot missing, and Germany had it in other countries at that time.
-
Because the development of Germany at that time was no longer satisfied with the current situation, and the colonies of Germany were divided between Britain and France in the past, so if you want more resources, you can only occupy the resources of other regions by waging wars
-
Because Germany was not reconciled to the defeat of World War I at that time, if Germany had not started World War II, they would have been living in the shadow of Versailles and the Treaty.
-
Why did Germany have to start World War II? Isn't it good to develop strength silently?
-
Therefore, I hope that Germany will remember the mistakes it made in the Second World War and the consequences it has suffered, so that Germany can be respected by the international community and that Germany will be able to shoulder more important responsibilities in the international community. Only in this way will Germany be able to become a responsible power.
-
Therefore, it was almost inevitable that Germany would start World War II, and if Germany had not started World War II at that time, they would have been living in the shadow of the Treaty of Versailles, and the gap between Germany and the old Western powers would have widened. However, I am not whitewashing the Nazis, the Nazis and Hitler himself committed countless war atrocities in World War II, which cannot be excused, but the reason why Germany launched a war of aggression is closely related to the exploitation of Germany by various countries after World War I, and Germany's aggression against Poland, the Czech Republic and other countries at the beginning of World War II, the blind appeasement policy of the major powers completely intensified this beast and turned Germany upside down in Europe.
-
Because Germany wanted to show its strength to the world, to obtain the fruits of war such as spoils of war through aggression.
Don't listen to the nonsense upstairs, the real situation is that since Hitler came to power and engaged in military expansion. The military is great. Moreover, before 1938, Germany paid great attention to military training. >>>More

The Soviet Union and the United States knew that Germany's scientific and technological level was the best in the world at that time, and German scientists were also of the greatest value.
Italy was the first to intervene in North Africa, and Mussolini clamored to create a Mediterranean empire. To restore the glory of the Roman Empire, take control of the Mediterranean. Hitler expressed his willingness to support his 1 armored division, Italy was afraid that it would be easy to send God, so he did not agree, Hitler was furious and vowed never to send troops to North Africa, and then Italy could not resist the attack of the Allies, Mussolini was forced to ask Hitler for help, Hitler in order to ensure the security of southern Germany and Italy, and control the Suez Canal, the favorable terrain, convenient for the transportation of strategic materials, and North African oil resources! >>>More
