I mean the way you phrased your question implies a value judgment which is a thing we don't do in History. We don't discuss decisions. Besides it's too restricted.
Your question sounds like a subject that military students could have in a strategy course using historical examples as references.
A historical problematics would be for instance to "show why the French Campaign was such a quick victory for the Wehrmacht", and the different strategies (the Ligne Maginot and the French defensive strategy, the snare that was The Siegfried Line etc) could be used as points as well as other points.
Or simply, I could ask as a question exam "The Phoney War" and hope that they would find themselves the problematics and phrase it(something they are supposed to do with an essay question): how the Phoney War served the German expansionism in Europe?
