Both the French and the Brits had their heads in the sand starting in the mid-1930s. If they would have acted then, they could have crushed Hitler's regime and avoided WWII. Instead, they chose to appeasement -- wishfully thinking that Hitler would stop after snapping up "just one more piece" of Europe.

Hitler started rearming in 1933. He publicly announced it in 1935 and left the League of Nations that same year.
This will be closing soon, so I wanted to offer something to raise the tone a bit. Believe it or not I have it on good authority that this is really used as a teaching aid on WWII.
Great,; I'm looking forward to your response.
I believe disarmament is possible. Before we start with disarmament however, we must establish the conditions that will make it possible first. We need to change our thought and behavior patterns. We can do this through education and by being role models for others, especially our children. This will reduce the likelihood of some latter day Napoleon Bonapart or Adolf Hitler coming along (after we have disarmed), rearming and dragging their neighbors into war.
