“WWII” could have been avoided if the treaty of Versailles was not signed. This could’ve happened if the British and French where more reasonable. For example: it would have been better if Great Britain and France didn’t exclude Germany and the Soviet Union from the treaty discussions. The allied force should have developed a list of information on the war and then …show more content…
The “League” was a fairly reasonable idea and it could have easily work if certain things had happened differently to how history states they did. For the “League” to be efficient there were three things that needed to happen and they were the U.S.A, Germany and the

The last thing that really impacted the “League” was the Great Depression, which really took away their only weapon the stop-trading act. Then when the depression hit most member countries were reluctant to stop trading with a country of aggression because the aggressive country could still trade with other non-member countries and that meant a lose of money and a bigger fall in the
