Re: What was the WW2 (Europe) about?
Hello
In respect of European attitudes, I suppose the 2nd War was a result of:
- German inability to accept the results of the Versailles Treaty
- French & British doing nothing beyond passive reaction - throughout the thirties - when faced with increasing 'agitations' from Fascist dictatorships,
- French & British inability to guarantee any safety for nations (re)created after WW2, such as Poland, Czechoslovakia
- Complete misjudgement of the capabilities and intentions of the Soviet Union. The result of Polish/Soviet war at the end of WW1 - could have been the basis for a stronger European front against the Soviets.
But the Facsist Germans failed to recognize Poland as a bulwark.
- Adolf Hitler "wanted" to go to war. That was always his intention. He was the dynamic force
