To what extent was the failure of Collective Security responsible for the outbreak of war in Europe in 1939?

-Puma,

rather than listen to the conspiracy theorists out there - the ones that claim the USA was the complete and sole cause of the Second World War - here is a site by the British that explain in detail the reasons for the failure of the League of Nations. In his 2nd Volume of the Second World War (subtitled "Alone") Sir Winston Churchill discusses how the League of Nations when failing to act in 1935 on German aircraft development and other war materiels were equally responsible for Hitler's rise to power as were the German people themselves.



Hope this helps and all the best,
