This is a GREAT article & maybe helpful:

World War II: How Western Leaders Failed To Stop the Nazi Rise
https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidcarlin/2019/09/04/world-war-ii-how-western-leaders-failed-to-stop-the-nazi-rise/?sh=7439283724e7

“WINSTON CHURCHILL BELIEVED World War II should have been called “THE UNNECESSARY WAR.”
As he explained it, “there never was a war more easy to stop than that [World War II].” Instead, the world suffered the bloodiest conflict in human history. During the 1930s, the West had numerous chances to take decisive action against Hitler. THEY DID NOT. POOR WESTERN LEADERSHIP ALLOWED the Nazi menace to grow to monstrous proportions. This catastrophic failure in leadership offers important lessons for decision-makers today....[PUTIN-KREMLIN MENACE?????]

When Hitler took power in 1933, many foreign diplomats were already familiar with his violent nationalist ideology. Hitler had often announced his intention to remilitarize Germany. In his first year, he withdrew from the League of Nations and the World Disarmament Conference.Western leaders repeatedly squandered chances to stop Hitler before 1940. First, their governments refused to take decisive action against the Nazis. Then, they remained divided in the face of a growing threat. Finally, they undermined their own opposition to Hitler through irresolution and half-measures. These mistakes proved disastrous. Nothing excuses the evil actions of Nazi Germany, but strong Western leadership might have contained Nazi evil before it exacted such a terrible toll.”
