So conquering most of Europe in a pointless and bloody war was just "what was in the interest of self preservation"? Protecting their nation from a violent communist takeover requires them conquering France and bombing the shit out of England (who had practically already been defeated)?
Self preservation against communists was why that party gained power. After that it was all revanchism, taking back land lost at Versailles(which was still full of Germans), until France and England responded to the German and Soviet invasion of Poland by declaring war on only Germany.
