Pt 3: WW II
At long last, after the ages of emptiness, Thor was recalled to the world when ancient lore was uncovered, and the Germanic peoples found ancient means to draw the attention of the Lord of Storms. Hitler called him from Asgard, and convinced him of the glory of the war and the righteousness of his cause. Long since distanced from humanity, Thor believed his persuasive speech, and turned against the Allies.
The first wedge in the alliance came when he heard of a warrior on the other side who dressed in bright red, white and blue, and battled with skill and a shield over trenches and guns, and that he would face whole units of enemy troops alone. And more to the point, he was only a mortal man. Though Steve would never know it, Seeking at first to battle this warrior, and perhaps engage the powerhouse people were calling the Sub Mariner, instead, he found himself watching the Invaders from afar, impressed by their bravery.
Eventually, Hitler's lies would be revealed to the Thunder God. Angry he had been tricked in this fashion, but especially upset that he had fallen for it largely because he'd wanted to believe in a glorious battle and the spirit of his ancient peoples returning, he turned even further from mortal men and returned to Asgard, waging his own war with a ferocity even greater than before to vent this new rage.

Pt 4: Donald Blake
Odin had, at last, had enough. Seeking to teach his son humility and the occasional need for restraint, he sought to humble him. Banishing him from Asgard for a time, he locked Thor into the identity of crippled mortal surgeon Donald Blake.
When a threat from afar was detected, and Odin's wrath was sufficiently spent, he guided Blake to vacation in Norway. Running afoul of the Stone Men, Blake was trapped in a cave. After his walking stick broke when trying to lever a cave in out of his way so he could escape the cave he hid in, he grabbed another stick instead. Still failing to free himself, he slammed the new walking stick against the stone in frustration. In that moment, Donald Blake was allowed to return to his life, carrying the memories of his time bound with the god, while Thor was freed from his long exile. Easily defeating the aliens, he re-introduced himself to the world.
While his father had sought to teach him humility and rule of law, in truth, what he'd done is reminded Thor of his purpose. That being a warrior was nothing without purpose - and purpose he had found on Earth once more. The world may have changed, and he would never again be so close to humanity as he had unwittingly been as Blake, but he remembered his admiration for the potential of humanity, and recalled, in Blake, many of the traits he had admired among the men of the ancient sailing ship.
He remembered that he had felt his greatest purpose, and true calling as a God not lording over the people of Midgard, but acting as their protector against forces they would never understand. And so he began a new crusade. Much of the world did not believe he was the real God of Thunder, but even that he did not see as an insult. He no longer demanded their worship - it was enough they welcomed him as a protector and avenger of wrongs. And so, though Odin once more invited him to return to Asgard, Thor had refused, focusing instead on fulfilling the call of one half of his soul, being the son of Gaia as well as Odin, child of two worlds, never entirely a part of either one.
