Could WW2 have been prevented? WW2 was a tragedy that killed 60 million people‚ it brought international distrust‚ repressed feelings and resented economic hardship‚ however‚ could it have been prevented? The Treaty of Versailles‚ which formally ended the war‚ did little to address unresolved issues and promoted international indignation while harsh economic conditions devasted millions of people.
