Is Hitler to blame for the Second World War?

Although facts and dates are well known concerning the Second World War, Historians are still debating today who or what caused the outbreak of it. The main figure receiving the blame is Adolf Hitler who, with no doubt, played an important role during and before the War. But can he be entirely blamed to have started the war? There are many other factors as to what could have started the war such as the appeasement …

…correct of the two allied countries, they should have stopped Hitler earlier before the situation escalated to a World War. The appeasement encouraged Hitler greatly, and with the unfair treaty terms on his mind he moved with much force to gain lebensraum. Hitler was offensively a very threatening and violent power, but lack of defence presented by Britain and France encouraged Hitler to rebel against the harsh treaty terms and gain more and more lebensraum.
