..Could the Civil War have been prevented?..No, Lincoln was elected and because of that one idea, and
his view about eventually abolishing slavery it could not have been prevented.
...Could WWII have been prevented..No, we were attacked at Pearl Harbor..
...Yes, our involvement in WWI might have been prevented, but could the war have been prevented?
Not likely because the alliances that existed actually set up WWI, and also there was no idea how
fatal such a war would be. If leaders had assumed the very worst, given the weapons that were new...
machine gun..etc. it might have been different..Maybe...
