The war was prosecuted for what were considered to be moral reason, not purely geopolitical ones.

Britain is not part of mainland Europe, our going concerns were not in Europe - we could have made peace.
he only wore out his entire luftwaffe and few tons of bombs to bring england to its knees and not to mention sending his most able general to kill the brits in africa. he just had an irrational fear for the british homeguard and their coastal defense + navy. if he had just invaded the island, and lets be happy he didnt... luckily he had an even bigger and more irrational fear for russia, lets be happy for that too!
