Biggest political mistake in history, in your opinion

Just to have some fun .
IMO the biggest political mistake was Germany declaring war on the US on Dec 8, 1941. Hitler should have declared war on Japan instead. You want to talk about 4D chess.
Also, southerners demanding the 3/5ths compromise sure came back to bite them in the arse.

Hell, that's not even Hitler's biggest mistake. It was invading Russia.

If Hitler hadn't declared war on the USSR, is a bigger what if to me.
Could they have launched an invasion of North America from Russia? Could the Japanese have kept the naval passages clear to resupply the Russian and German armies?

If Germany had not picked a fight with Russia and instead worked out a agreement of mutual hatred with no fighting between them, they would have trounced everyone else in Europe. Russia decimating the German military is the real reason Germany lost the war. They would have kicked the US and Brittain's arse in a one on one fight at that point in history.

Shoot...Hitler should have stopped with Czechoslovakia. Had he done that, let the Jews immigrate from Germany, and kept his shite together in general, he would be considered one of the greatest statesmen of the 20th century.

Maybe, though without our entering the Western front, it's probable that Germany would have eventually defeated both the English and the Soviets. At a great cost of course, but they probably would have won.
I'm not sure we go to Europe if Germany doesn't declare war on us.
It was a total blunder on their part, on the other hand, declaring war on Japan for striking us would have been brilliant.
But brilliant is a word not often associated with Hitler.

"I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men." -Woodrow Wilson, after signing the Federal Reserve into existence. America has been paying for it (literally) ever since.

Does " used a private server instead of a government server for her email" make the list?
If not for that blunder could Hillary have won the 2016 election? fricking yourself out of being the first female POTUS is a pretty big blunder.

I'd say her calling Trump supporters deplorable and not having a single message besides "I'm a woman" and "stronger together" is a bigger frick-up.

Napoleon's march to Moscow through Germany, which helped unify Germany into a singular nation from a bunch of tribes in the first place. Had this not happened, Germany may not have risen to a major combatant in WWI or WWII.
ETA - Also, the French haven't been the same since either, so not only did Napoleon help unify the Germanic tribes into unified Germany and lose hundreds of thousands of men invading Russia, he also paved the way for his nation to survive in a completely defensive position and then totally overrun like a knife through warm butter in the coming global conflicts, erasing the majority of France's military might on the world stage.
