Misrepresented

@Ephrom: Wrongheaded as Buchanan is, I think the page badly misrepresents Buchanan's argument. First, the Allies did not invade Germany, they occupied Germany at the end of the war due to non-surrender; I rather doubt that Buchanan claimed that the Allies invaded Germany. Second, most of Buchanan's claims about the war being unnecessary are based on World War I and the Treaty of Versailles. This is not made clear on the page.

@Bongolian: I fixed that mistake (thanks for pointing that out, by the way) and will include a section summarizing those claims later today.Ephrom

Intimations of war

From 'various research and reading' it is clear that some people (at least) were considering that there might be a European war 'at some point' by the mid-1930s. (I do not have the details to hand - long ago and a previous computer etc.)

Quite possibly *if Hitler had not been present/had been less militant* there might have been a tripartite Europe - Communist (Stalin etc), democratic (of various flavours) and 'right wing authoritarian' (in Europe - Franco, Salazar, Mussolini, and some of the South American states.
