AHC: War to End All War

Title

So, the challange is to create a POD that resulted in no WWII. The world must be at relative peace (a.k.a no full scale war greater than any OTL interwar conflict) until, say, 1975.

Bonus point if there's some short of Cold War going on. Bonus multiplied for every separate power in said Cold War.

Nuclear weapons invented in 1930
 
WW II didn't need to happen, However WWII is not just Europe.

quickest ways in Europe
  • Germany recovers quicker from depression. French, British vacate German Territory,
  • Germany and Poland work together to thwart communism or at least keep it in the Soviet Union
  • Have the Nazi's not in charge in Germany ( and that isn't impossible )
  • Have the British or French step in against German ambitions if they do
  • NO Nazi Germany and most of Italy's ambitions are curbed

  • The USA has a much stronger serious presence in the east
  • If there is no full on bloodbath in Europe, the Japanese will be less trigger happy
Now other issues will be that you still have colonialism, as well as locals that do not want their colonial masters.
The United States will more than likely remain apartheid


Cold War: Japan - US .. USSR - Japan/ USSR - USA / USSR - Germany and Poland

no large scale war means less weapons being sold.


This could continue indefinitely, but I would tink that with out the sad lesson of WWII, someone will light the match. keep the lid of Europe is key to no WWII.
 
Prevent or seriously change the treaties of Rapallo and Lausanne. Rapallo made Germany the first western power to recognize the Soviet Union, renounce any mutual territorial claims, and allowed the Reichswehr to train in the USSR. You'd probably have to make Germany less of pariah to keep it from working together with Europe's other biggest pariah. This treaty opened 20 years of Russo-German cooperation that culminated in Molotov Ribbentrop.

The Lausanne treaty basically ratified the results of WW1. Germany recognized its new western borders and renounced any attempt to change them by force (tie on the western front) but gave Germany a free hand in the east (Germany basically won in the east).

Other scenarios would probably involve preventing the occupation of the Rhineland or more extensive plebiscites in the Polish corridor. Plebiscites that were OTL confined to Silesia and East Prussia should have been carried out through the whole territory given to Poland.
