The only chance he had, while still taking Poland, was to not meaningfully attack France, Netherlands, or Britain. Make it clear he was willing to settle with them. None of those countries were thrilled to be in a war, that would have been the end of it with a new map of Europe.
The West didn’t care about the Holocaust and felt more threatened by Russia. The war in the Pacific would have still happened of course. And there’s a fair chance the West would have teamed up with Hitler to fight Russia.
Anything beyond Poland was just a bridge too far.

Saying someone is ignorant is not calling them stupid.
Someone who does not understand that difference, while having access to a dictionary on the other hand…

Time was a real factor, Germany was on the verge of nuclear technology too. Many lives were spared because Hitler over extended himself. By the time the Allies were at Berlin they were on a campaign of submission.
