    The only way is wouldn't have been inevitable it for preemptive action to have been taken against Hilter during his rise to power. However Britan, France, and the other European nations chose to appease him rather than stop his aggression. By the time they reacted it was too late, Hitler was firmly ensconced.

    As long as a handful of rich men run the world by making the

    rest of us fight each other,

    war will always be inevitable.

    The answer to your question is:

    WW2 was inevitable.

    Read up on the Treaty of Versailles which officialy ended WW1.

    The way that this ended pretty much guaranteed that within the next twenty years the entire war would be fought

    over again.

    In my opinion this also led to the holocaust.

    Hitler knew that there were secret forces at work that

    were out to destroy Germany.

    Mistakenly, he blamed the Jewish people.

    Look at how WW2 ended. Europe in ruins divided into zones.

    Did that not lead to 50 years of cold war?

    All war is inevitable.

    Winston Churchill called it the unnecessary war. It should and could have been prevented if the U.S. took the advice of President Woodrow Wilson and became a member of the League of Nations. Had we joined that body it would've had more teeth, and the opportunities to rid people like Adolph Hitler would have been limitless. America was isolationist following the end of the Great War.

    WW II was inevitable because the German economy was left in shambles after WW I and nothing was done to fix it. When the German people were suffering with hyperinflation and a lack of employment the conditions were ripe for a fascist to exploit the situation and rise to power. That is why we didn't repeat the same mistake after WW II - the Marshall plan rebuilt Germany so those conditions wouldn't exist.

    Preventable no. But it could have lasted less lounger if Chamberling took military action back in 1936 when Hitler was going against the Treaty of Versailles with his huge military buildup. And the building of the Luftwaffe which was a good reason to go to war with Germany cause it went against the treaty wish prohibited Germany to have any air power.

    Who can really say for sure? I don't think anything is necessarily "inevitable," except things demanded by physical laws. I'm sure there were probably many things that could have occured that might have avoided WW2. Hindsight is 20/20, after all.

    It was preventable. If Germany had never been yoked with the Treaty of Versaille and the Great Depression had never happened, war, at least in Europe, could have possibly been avoided.

    Nothing's inevitable.. it was obviously preventable. It was just that nobody was willing to prevent it... obviously if the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance were willing to settle it peacfully it would have been prevented but their egos were too large and they wanted the glory.
