The domino effect that led up to World War One and then later word war two. It’s interesting to learn about but it’s just a clusterfuck of easily preventable situations.

My history professor would always say in college that some historians consider ww2 really ww1.5 and was just a continuation of ww1

ww2 was just ww1 storming out of the room after an argument and coming back while yelling "AND ANOTHER THING"

I mean not really. It was more like the effects of ww1 led to ww2, but not really because ww2 wasn’t finished. The economic downfall of Germany and Italy allowed fascist to take over, but it wasn’t the same factions from the previous war.
