It was the Britain and France that declared war on Germany, not the other way round. Hitler had no interest in going west, he was looking east. We chose to fight with one dictator (Stalin) against another dictator (Hitler). We should have just left Germany and Russia to fight it out. Stalin was responsible for a greater number of deaths than Hitler when the allies declared war.
Besides, Germany is now economically strong because it hasn't been burdened with a military for so long after the second world war. One reason why it's so important for me to learn the German language right now.
