Why didn't Hitler go through Turkey to get the Caucasus Oil?

One popular idea people have is that Hitler and Germany should have invaded Turkey (or maybe get her on her side, which wasn't an option because Turkey wasn't interested) to get to the Caucasus oil fields in the southern Soviet Union. This would theoretically solve the oil crisis that Germany was suffering under. However, there are a few problems with this theory, as this video will explain.

ABOUT TIK 📝

History isn’t as boring as some people think, and my goal is to get people talking about it. I also want to dispel the myths and distortions that ruin our perception of the past by asking a simple question - “But is this really the case?”. I have a 2:1 Degree in History and a passion for early 20th Century conflicts (mainly WW2). I’m therefore approaching this like I would an academic essay. Lots of sources, quotes, references and so on. Only the truth will do.

This video is discussing events or concepts that are academic, educational and historical in nature. This video is for informational purposes and was created so we may better understand the past and learn from the mistakes others have made.
