Basic cold, hard reality appears to be that the British started WW-II...
Nice defense of national socialism.
I'm a big fan of Buchanan, always have been. He makes arguments that others are afraid to make.
But I think he's wrong here. It was said of Napoleon that he didn't want all of Europe, just those parts that bordered his empire. And as his empire expanded, so did the number of countries that bordered it.
Same goes with Hitler. He didn't want to attack the West...yet. If Britain and France would have stayed out of the Polish conflict, perhaps Hitler would have first driven east. Moscow then Paris instead of Paris then Moscow.
No.
Adolph Hitler and his National Socialist "Third Reich" started WWII.
Britain and France may be fairly blamed for setting the stage for it. Britain in particular may be fairly blamed for permitting it (by inaction and pusillanimous conduct). But starting it?
Hitler started it. And Stalin was complicit.
I'm not a Historian, but I think Winston Churchill would have agreed with you that "The Unnecessary War" was Britain's "fault," but probably not in the sense you think.
OTOH, I'm not surprised that Buchanan's fevered mind would come up with a way to blame Britain for Germany's invasion of Poland. I'll bet that, given time, he'll peg some action of the US that forced the Japanese to bomb Pearl.
