Well, I disagree. I claim WWII was also a war by mistake.
Hitler didn't think that France and England would go to
war over Poland. That was one of his many mistakes. His
basic war aim was to gain territory in the East, destroy
communism, enslave the Eastern races, and that kind of thing.
He wanted to cooperate with the British Empire in order to
dominate the world jointly. He didn't want to fight the
western powers, particularly Britain.
