I hope that if you come to this site, you feel at least some reassurance. Life is messy, life isn't perfect, and I love that there is a place, virtual as it is that can acknowledge this. I don't pretend to be perfect or know everything, but I promise that if you ask me a question, or if I see one and take an interest, I will answer it as best I can.Check out my forum here:

I know Hitler violated the Versailles Treaty. I know HOW he did it. What i don't know is WHY no country held him accountable for it/ stopped him?
England? USA? France? Any of the hundreds of countries who knew what was going on!! What were their reasons for not doing anything?
World War 1 was supposed to be the first and last great war. Everyone did have an idea what was happening with Hitler, but they didn't want to go to war because they knew how devastating way was, and how it is often fought for the wrong reasons.
WW1 was started by the Germans attempting to invade France, and turned into a global war. When politicians of the late 30s looked back on this event, they realized that this war was really over land, and basically completely pointless. The entire thing was fought in trenches over a few hundred kilometers of mud (or some other relatively small amount).
When the Germans again invaded various parts of Europe, it didn't seem to be, at first, serious to start such a potentially devastating global war on. As opposed to starting a war, the English and Canadian Prime minister decided to negotiate with Hitler. Hitler would tell them something, eg. that he would not invade Belgium, and then he would. Political leaders did not expect him to outright lie like that.
As well, Hitler was allowed to have such a control over his own people because the Germans were bitter over the unfair conditions imposed on them by the treaty of Versailles. Hitler won these people over by convincing them that he hated the treaty and would make Germany great again. He was also an amazing orator - anyone who listened to him was pretty much brainwashed into doing whatever he said.
