That war was in NO WAY inevitable but I don't have nearly enough time to list all the ways it could have been prevented. Read "The Unnecessary War" by Patricia Meehan and you'll see how incredible it was that the war happened at all.
AnswerI believe any fight is avoidable, if the possible participants are willing to compromise.The leaders of the world, namely Hitler, Churchill, Stalin, Roosevelt and Hirohito were not compromisers.
Compromising w/men like Hitler and Stalin was very dangerous. Churchill and Roosevelt knew this. Hirihito was in no position to compromise, his country was about a year away form destitute.
The personalities of the leaders at the time, in my opinion, made WW2 unavoidable. That's not to say that they were all war mongers. Hitler was, yes, and thus set the stage in Europe for no compromise.
Hirohito needed to act to secure vital commodities that Japan lacked, from the rest of Asia. His back was to the wall and the Emperor (would never admit defeat)
Answeri have a short and simple answer to this: no in my opinion because of the treaty of Versailles. since Germany was definetely one of the main countries involved, they were looking for trouble and reprisal. they wanted to justify themselves in another war especially because of their humiliation in WWI. also, tensions had been enormous and hard to avoid. Answeryes World War 2 was inevitale why because Germany was an imperialistic nation and its every growing expansions were unlikely to stop Hitler didnt start ww2 the allies did by forceing germanys economy to collapse and force the Germans to expand but i don't think that the Germans were At Fault as there early expansions were considered apart of the German empire in ww1
AnswerYes. World War II was going to happen. The Germans only option for economic uprising was war along with Japan, Itally and numerous other axis nations. The only real way to have stopped it other than changing history was to stop the political parties in all the axis power nations before they could start war. And even if that happened Stalin would have started World War II for world domination. Sorry to say it but WWII was a storm that could not be stopped.
Yes is the answer. The problem with that is that it requires hindsight & we are all very good at international politics & rewriting history with that addition. Had this happened or that not happened then, obviously history would be oh so different. So it's a paradox really, yes it was preventable but only if it was different to what really happened. My point is the Allies, Britain & France should have, without difficulty or many casualties, thrown the German military out of the Rhineland when Hitler re militarised it. But they did not. In fact they were spineless in the face of Hitlers demands. And that should have been avoided & prevented.... the rest is History.....
Because they couldn't stop it.
communism and democracy
it really wasnt an idea it just was inevitable.
Neither war was inevitable. Much of the mess left by World War 1 and the ensuing peace made a re-match a distinct possibility, but disaster might have been averted by more far-sighted policy and co-operation to prevent the 1930s economic meltdown.
Yes. The Treaty that ended World War I didn't resolve any of the conflicts that helped create the war and made new ones because of its clauses.
i dont think that there was an anding for this war because it was inevitable. I mean i guess it had to happen and it was just weird how after like 20 ears later world war 2 began.
I assume you are referring to the treaties at the end of World War 1, namely the Treaty of Versailles. Technically, that is debatable, but most historians agree that the terms of the Treaty of Versailles made a second world war much more probable than it would have been otherwise. Basically, yes, they did make it inevitable.
Probably not as this would lead to massive unemployment and the inevitable war.
Yup. Japan bombed Pearl Harbor December 7, 1941 and on December 11, 1941 Hitlerdeclared war on the United States.
No. Allied conventional bombing was already doing grave damage. The Soviet Union had declared war on Japan, so Japan's defeat was inevitable.
Preventing Pearl Harbor would have been impossible. The United States could never have seen that Japan was planning to suddenly attack, so that was inevitable. On the other hand, World War 2 was mainly in retaliation of the attack at Pearl Harbor. The United States wanted to stay out of World War 2 until Pearl Harbor was attacked (for other reasons). However, after the attack at Pearl Harbor, tensions rose amongst Americans, many of whom sought revenge for Pearl Harbor, so entering World War 2 was heavily favored. The only ways to really have effectively prevented World War 2 were if Pearl Harbor was never attacked (false, inevitable) or if tensions did not rise high enough that most Americans called for war.
Consumer pressure was not a reason why American markets opened to Japanese goods following World War 2. The real reason why this happened was because Japan was occupied by the United States, so trade became inevitable.
