Debate:Was world war inevitable?
Post Your Thoughts
yes...
Probably Chain Reaction... All of the alliances made leading up to WWI made it somewhat inevitable. it was inevitable that something (The assasination of ) would spark a fight wich would trigger a chain reaction of all of the alliances between th european powers. If both sides had actually wanted to avoid war then maybe it would have been avoided. However that was not the case.
All it takes is one person determined to fight... In the case of WWII Hitler and the Japanese were determined to take over the world. (At least Europe and Asia) The rest of the world was not about to let that happen without a fight. This made WWII inevitable.
no...
War is almost never "inevitable". War results when both sides think they can win, and believe that the bloodshed is worth it. But both sides cannot win a contest so faulty information is part of the problem.
For 1500 years Christians didn't fight each other in wars. What happened that made Christians believe in war against each other? I don't think that the Axis were Christian... Hitler's Racism was based on a Darwinian worldview, (Survival of the fittest) and the Japanese had their own religion. (I may be wrong but I think they Believed that their Emperor was basically God)
There is always a chance... HItler could have had a stroke and died. The emperor of japan could have been assasinated; The war was not a sure thing until it aready happened
If you look at it that way, then nothing is ever inevitable.
