It does not seem likely that a war that was based so greatly around a fight for power could have been avoided. Without a central government for all of Europe the struggle would always exist and the war would have happened eventually.

After the Nazis invaded Poland it was not preventable. You have to honour your alliances as the British honoured their defence treaty with Poland.

Was World War 2 an inevitable conclusion to World War 1?

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.


Was war with japan in World War 2 preventable?

Anything can be preventable. The question is, how far does something/someone go, before either making a stand, or fighting back. France surrendered so quickly to the advancing Germans...France could have prevented war with Germany, simply by surrendering before the first shot was fired.


How could you have prevented World war 2 and Pearl Harbor?

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.

Did the Paris peace treaties make World War 2 inevitable?

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.
