You are quite wrong about Hitler's plans. He viewed heterogenous America as the mortal threat to the Aryan nation. (Hitler had contempt for Slavs, so he underestimated the USSR.)

Citations? Everything I've read, including Hitler's own Mein Kempf, histories, and historical publications, shows that Hitler had no desire to be at war with America, Britian, or even France. When America entered the war, it was obvious that Hitler didn't even have the capacity to invade Britain, or if not the ability, not the will. One of the reasons that Hitler attacked the Soviet Union was that he (idiotically) thought that this move would be approved of by the US and Britain.

All that doesn't say that France, Britain, and the US should not have gone to war to Make the World Safe For Democracy Version II but if that was our goal...why did we give Eastern Europe and China to the Communists? And if that wasn't our goal, what was the point of the whole tragic exercise?

REgarding Hitler's thought's on Slav's, I suggest that you pick up "Hitler's Second Book : The Unpublished Sequel to Mein Kampf by Adolf Hilter". You can read an alternate translation at http://www.adolfhitler.ws/lib/books/zweites/zweites.htm.

Hitler wanted war with France

Pan Europe cannot be summoned to the solution of this problem, but only a Europe with free and independent national States whose areas of interest are divergent and precisely delimited. Only then can the time ripen for Germany, secured by a France pushed back within her own boundaries, and supported by her Army born anew, to lead the way toward the elimination of her territorial need. Once our Folk, however, will have grasped this great geopolitical aim in the east, the consequence will not only be clarity regarding German foreign policy, but also stability, at least for a humanly predictable time, will make it possible to avoid political insanities like those which ultimately entangled our Folk in the World War. And then we will also have ultimately overcome the period of this petty daily clamour and of the completely sterile economic and border policy.

I readily concede that Hitler thought that Britain would be an ally or at least neutral, based on his racial theories.

.why did we give Eastern Europe and China to the Communists? And if that wasn't our goal, what was the point of the whole tragic exercise?
We did not "give" anything to the communists. By 1945, the only way to dislodge the USSR would have been to invade it. We were not willing to fight then.
Teh Republica of China fell in 1948, not 1945. I will not defend Truman's failures here.
