Sorry if I did not make it clear - the much-discussed horrors of WWI did not stop WWII.

WWII was more like a second act of the same war really. Wounds were not closed.

Yes - I tend to the view that WW2 in Europe was a continuation of WW1, while the War in the Pacific was essentially an independent conflict going on concurrently. Even from that perspective, Germany was not facing an existential threat in 1939, yet chose war.
