There was mixure of factors which lead to WWII: the ascension & rivalry of the one party/states in Europe (Soviet Union/3rd. Reich), the militarization & acute ideologization of both (on nat’l revanchist and supremacis line of Germany, and the attempt of mondialization of the marxist doctrine/Russian imperialism line in Soviet Union) – AND! the european pacifism.
Remember the “Ah! Les cons!”? (“Ah! Those idiots!”/ Daladier, about the adoring crowds praising him for saving the continent’s pece when returning from Munchen after ceding to Hitler the entire Mittle Europe).
Appeasement – don’t we see similarities beween those years’ pacifists and our times’ enlightened, lefty crowds? and what about the consequences of appeasement?
