Why had international Peace collapsed by 1939? (1919-39) - Karl, James

4)Horrific legacy of WWI produces strong anti-war sentiment

1)Inherent aggression + expansionist ideologies from fascist powers: Germany,Italy,Japan

3)US isolation effectively leaves peacekeeping to Britain+France

2)Fascist powers increasingly violating international order + peace established after WWI

5)USSR(communist country) seen as the enemy

7) Expansion seen to help 'solve' economic problems caused by Great Depression

8)Britain+France continued to disagree over how fair the TOV was to Germany
