BREAKING:Trump refuses to commit to a peaceful transition of power after Election Day

I'm kind of surprised that the military minds of Germany didn't foresee losing the war eventually. One nation can't take on the entire world like that and hope to win unless you're a madman. And no offense to Germany, Italy or Japan but they're not that big as far as the global scale is concerned. I actually find it amazing they did as well as they did for as long as they did. But even if you actually win that war, then comes the hard part: occupation. How would three relatively small nations control a global empire for long? Certainly not 1,000 years.

In the beginning MAZI Germany did not take on the whole world. Allying with the USSR appears to solve most of the military and economic problems that were at the root of German defeat in WWI.  Gradually Germany accumulated enemies and proved quite inefficient in the conduct of the economic aspects of the war.   But those happened step wise, and the German army was like a lobster that didn’t feel itself boiling until it is too late to get out of the pot.    

While it may have been the Nazi aspiration to somehow conquer and rule the world, it seems probable that much of German army felt that a negotiated peace was the real goal and was attainable, and its terms could be made more favorable to Germany by Germany gaining strong positions through military success.    

Even after 1943 and Cairo conference much of German army was in denial over the fact that the west-USSR alliance was unlikely to fail apart before Germany is defeated, and that alliance was really determined to crush Germany all the way down to powder and would accept no peace that would leave Germany intact.
