Was it possible to avoid the outbreak of World War II?

From a theoretical point of view, it was possible to avoid it, but in practice everything went to it.

Its prerequisites had already begun to appear after the First World War, when the Treaty of Versailles was signed, which became humiliating for Germany and became, as it were, the starting point for the beginning of the Second World War. Hitler’s coming to power and the policy of Western countries to ignore the aggressive actions of the Nazis. Inaction of Great Britain and France in relation to Germany. Not signing an agreement with the USSR in relation to the aggressor countries.

Economic crisis in Europe and overseas. Financial collapse of exchanges. All this contributed to the start of the war.

(It was thanks in part to World War II that the United States emerged from the economic depression and made a fortune out of it.)
