He really could NOT avoid getting into a war with the whole world because getting into wars with people gave him thrills. You could say that Churchill liked getting into wars with people too. But he had a reasonable sense of proportion if only from being a self-satisfied member of the ruling class of a comfortable parliamentary state. It is hard to imagine Hitler keeping enough of a lid on himself to avoid going to war with everyone.
The loss of the Tripartite Pact countries was a long sum of coincidences. Their odds where actually good. There are no elements to liken Hitler personality to that of a serial killer.
