France could have easily stopped the reoccupation of the Rhineland by advancing to the border or maybe 50 miles into German territory. The French Army was capable of this. At this point in time, the German General staff would have overthrown Hitler and this would have taken care of the Hitler problem. Please notice when the British Expeditionary Force landed in France.

Please research your history of Austria and the relatively new nation of Germany. Better yet, tell an Austrian that he is actually German and see the reaction. There are German speaking areas of Switzerland also...aren't there

Funny, you lack fundamental knowledge of European history.
But it's ok, as you are US American...
Austria was always a part of Germany. Again: Do yourself a favor and research holy roman empire of german nation.

Of course, today you shouldn't call an Austrian a German - do you think his perception could be influenced by the outcome of WW2?

Also Mussolini was against this and stopped the Germans from doing this sooner than '38

He did what?

Please research the steps taken to breakup Czechoslovakia.Please research the steps taken to breakup Czechoslovakia and how at any point the Allies could have mobilized and stopped this from happening.

Do it yourself.
I gave you the link.
German speaking territory=Germany
Cz speaking=Cz Republic
That pretty much sums Munich up.

My German ancestors(was born with 2 nationalities) come from the Sudetenland.

I have read all the new information about Stalin invading the Reich but I am not too sure if I believe it. It could have been a feint to keep Hitler in check?! Or Soviet propaganda to explain their terrible showing in 1941 and save Stalin's face!

You read?
Ever read about the German Roadsigns in Kyrillian?
The Udssr had those in stock, they were sure they would need them.
edit: That was in the late 80's, so Stalin and his successors had far bigger plans with Europe after WW2.

After the invasion of Poland the Allies did not take any serious ground action against Germany. The Western border was open to an attack by the French Army. Even a WW1 type Army using WW1 tactics!

One of funny things during the Battle of France is the fact, the French tanks were actually far superior to their German counterparts - but Fritz was so smart to install radios, the French didn't. Instead of radio, they communicated with handsigns and colored flags. They lost.

We cut off the Japanese oil supply because of the invasion of China. Maybe a bit naive but this is how Americans think and still think today. We found ourselves in many situations like this in our history.

But today you get bashed for it.

You really need to get your facts straight about the size of the combined Allied Armies in 1939 and the size of Germany's. In 1939 Germany was not in a war footing either...this only started in 1943-44. I personally think that the French would have done a lot better in offense than they did in defence!

Ok, I'll play along.

So the F and UK marches into Germany, right to Berlin in fact, they must relive Hitler from his duty.
(let's ingore the Army in Poland for the moment, as they would have been without leader)

And then?
