This kind of reasoning is why war never ends

And with your reasoning, Hitler would have enslaved all of Europe and Japan all of Asia or the former Yugoslav nations would have massacred each other.

The Allies let Hitler annex Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia because "hey, let's not start a war with Nazi Germany", and then let Putin annex Crimea because "hey, let's not start a war with Putin's Russia", but talking and diplomacy only gets you so far and after that, unfortunately, war requires tough measures that hurt everyone, because while you sit around, more people are dying and you're setting a precedent for the future that it's ok to invade other countries and kill innocent people, because you previously let others get away with it before in order to avoid war.

The usual line is that Hitler rose to power because of Germany's humiliation in WWI.

I'm not really a fan of the theory, but I'm assuming that's what is being referenced.
