Isolationism was a very potent political force in the US up till Pearl Harbor.

A lot of people were very bitter about WW1- the War to end all wars and only 20 years later they were at it again.

Given National Socialism, war was inevitable between UK, France, Russia and Germany. There was no avoiding it...the dynamic of NS simply drove Germany into expansionist wars.

With no NS in Germany I see no need at all for a new war, any more than France and Germany would go to war today. Sure there would still be the reoccupation if the Rhineland and a future argument about the Sudeten region, but not full war in Europe.

The war if it came would have been one of resistance against an expansionist USSR maybe in the late forties.

Japan's war, is problematical...they relied on the colonial powers being pre-occupied by the European war. If that never happened I feel they would have been hesitant in attacking the Southern Resource Region.

But who knows?

I am not sure, the Nazis were far from the only group in Germany wanting revenge. I think that even without the nazis the war would have begun.
 
Seems that my OP of 1920, makes some kind of WW2 Inevitable, but if whe can start in 1918 at the end of WW1 whe can butterfly it away.
