Anon, they did not lose the territory "easy of Danzig" after WWI - you have your world wars mixed up, at minimum. Same goes with the claim that millions of Germans were pressed west - again, WWII, not WWI.

Not even remotely their biggest obstacle, imo. That had more or less no effect on the war.

Balkan invasions used up very little resources.

That was not the intent for the Slavs and Jews.

Overall, the anon raises good points, but isn't right, either.

Italian plan, RDV, was to recreate the Roman Empire. Japan's goals were basically what they conquered otl, plus a couple of islands that remained out of their control on its perimeter, like Midway.

No, Nazi Germany never really had such plans for Africa.

Local, not at all accurate.

RDV, the Finns didn't even try that. They advanced enough to retake their territory. That's about it, imo. And aside for going over the lake, they and the Germans did cut off all supply lines.

US would enter against Germany eventually. As I have stated here repeatedly, they had by the start of war been engaged in an unofficial war for months in the Atlantic by that point. First warship goes with loss of life, and there is war.

And really no way to talk the Japanese out of that attack.
