There are two main theories about the causes of major world wars.
I would say there is more than two, wouldn't you Qatz? Further your two theories are not mutually exclusive if you scrub out the cartoonish elements.
My argument is that Germany - in the 20th Century - just wanted to be like any other Euro superpower.
Exactly, and I demonstrated that not a single colonial power you could cite was not already a European power prior to obtaining colonies. The point, which you are conveniently ignoring, is that these countries were successful in large part because of domestic economics and reform. Nazi Germany on the other hand was a disaster waiting to happen in domestic economics, which if we accept your argument was paradoxically caused by it's war-like preparations. If we ignore your argument, then there is no paradox: Hitler didn't care about the economic aspect at all, he was acting on other motives, hence the thought process that allowed such a lop-sided development is entirely understandable.
Not only Hitler was inspired by these, virtually all Europeans were - particularly those in the Modern, developed, industrial parts.
Hitler drew far more inspiration, and clearly had more respect for, fascist Italy of the 1920s which was not a European power, and pursued colonies that had no economic or strategic value. Does Mein Kampf outline a scheme for a colonial European power as you suggest? It does not. Instead it outlines a racial dream (or nightmare from any other perspective) of conquering others depicted as a threat, with the 'colonies' not for economic advantage, but as 'living space'. Which in turn fits in nicely with the agrarian/communal concepts that rattled around the Nazi party. These 'colonies' were also not depicted as part of a competition with any other nation, in fact one powerful nation, the United States, is conspicuously absent from the text.
I don't know why you're trying to refute this by playing a shell game with historical eras.
You either fail to comprehend what I have explained to you, or you choose to ignore it in favour of a strawman.
Perhaps because you agree with it and can't find a real argument to oppose what I'm saying?
Although strawmen are usually not depicted as secretly being in agreement with the opposition. Has your conspiratorial thinking spun out to the point where you and I are unwittingly acting in concert on some scheme?
Germany went to war because of corrupt and desperate business practices by a handful of elite business institutions. These big-fatcats fucked up, and then sacrificed millions of victims to cover their deeds and to recoup their entitlements.
This seems problematic, since Nazi Germany's economic policy was not driven by industrialists. Instead the earliest actor was Hjalmar Schact, a (former?) head of the state bank, in contrast to your past claims about international bankers versus nation-states. The 'hand outs' the industrialists got were in the form of contracts which the government could never have hoped to make good on, which hardly seems to be in their interest.
The question in the OP is an infantile one
This has apparently not deterred you from attempting to answer it. However if you are tired of this, I think you already know where the exits are.
"Crazy leaders" and "dumbness" aren't really credible.
These are just the excuses that the business elite use to cover their own morbid incompetence and callous disregard for nature in all its manifestations.
Why arn't they credible? History has many examples of incompetant and even mentally ill leaders. You, as always, have not made any effort to prove your assertion. Instead you blame a cabal of businessmen... who paradoxically
can be incompetant?
