I don't say that Christianity has prevented conflict. Not anywhere in my posts I think. I think it's a force for good, but it's often misinterpreted - just as Muslims often misinterpret the Quran, and other people misinterpret their holy books. We are all just, at the end of the day, faulty human beings. We want to be God, not be ruled by God. IMO anyway.
Actually Hitler's raison d'être was lebensraum - living space. If you ever have the desire to read Mein Kampf, or even read about it, you will see that his whole thing was extending his empire. Of course, German nationalism had also taken a beat down during WWI, and the people were struggling with having to repay the fines levied upon them by the rest of Europe. And then there was the restriction on building weapons. And if you ever read The Origins of the Second World War by A J P Taylor (you should, I had to for college, grrr) you can discover that Hitler actually didn't want to go to war but it was the rest of Europe which made him do it! To which - big eye roll.
Anyway, that's all politics.
