absolutely - Germany was disatified with the Versailles treaty and was in serious economic trouble because of it. Their country was completely down and out and inflation was insanely high. At this point, anybody with charisma could come on the scene and lead the people - It was a very easy time to be a powerful leader and have a massive following.
At the same time, relations between most of the other European nations were still testy. Nobody was completely satisfied with the Versialles treaty, and France was still especially uneasy.
When Germany began to be powerful under Hitler, many thought it was a great new begining. Actually, in a lot of places, including America, that time was called the German Renaissance, a name that of course died out after the world learned about what Hitler was REALLY doing to his own people and the people of other neighboring countries. Hitler needed to continue on his reputation of being a strong leader (and his campaign promises) by conquering more land for Germany, which inevitably brought on WWII.

Commonly held general causes for WWII are the rise of nationalism, the rise of militarism, and the presence of unresolved territorial issues. Fascist movements emerged in Italy and Germany during the global economic instability of the 1920s, and consolidated power during the Great Depression of the 1930s. In Germany, resentment of the Treaty of Versailles — specifically article 231 (the "Guilt Clause") —, the belief in the Dolchstosslegende, and the onset of the Great Depression fueled the rise to power of the militarist National Socialist German Workers Party (the Nazi party) of which Adolf Hitler was the leader. Meanwhile, the Treaty's provisions were laxly enforced from fear of another war. Closely related is the failure of the UK and French policy of appeasement, which sought to avoid or postpone another war but actually encouraged Hitler to become bolder. The Soviet Union's signing of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact freed Germany of fear of reprisal from the Soviet Union when Germany invaded Poland. The League of Nations, despite its efforts to prevent the war, relied on the Great Powers to enforce its resolutions and was unable to prevent the start of The Second World War.

It could have been avoided. It should have been avoided.
As a rule we should make a pact not to fight any war and avoid all wars in the future.
All wars in the past were concluded by the strokes of the pen and started with the strokes of the pen(declaration). All present war will be ended with the strokes of the pen.
Knowing this we should be always be negotiating and not go to war in the future.
This is my wish, I wish that this wish of mine will be granted by the present and future leaders of the world.
I wish that the people of the world can enjoy happiness, health and prosperity through ever lasting peace.
