Line 892:
:As for the racial policies bit, I do think they were mostly his. Most people, rightly so, see him as the integral person behind the Holocaust, if not the one that actually carried it out or arranged it. Perhaps '''"The racial policies he fostered"''' instead of "his racial policies" would work better. --[[User:Golbez|Golbez]] 17:57, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

:Hitler's attempt to create a "Greater Germany", beginning with the annexation of Austria and the invasions of Czechoslovakia and Poland in 1939, was '''a''' primary cause of World War II in Europe.
On the ground that there is only one primary cause, by definition (there are other meanings of "primary" that allow plurals ("primary colors"), but "first in rank of importance", the one used here, isn't one of them). "Primary" does not mean "only", so other factors are not excluded by this wording. You can try a reformulation if you think this should be given more prominence, but I think it's clear enough as it is. I dispute that there is more than a very small minority of POVs who contest that especially Hitler's invasion was the primary cause. [[User:JRM|JRM]] · [[User talk:JRM|Talk]] 21:18, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
