The Treaty of Versailles ended WWI with strict limitations on Germany to prevent future conflicts. However, Hitler's rise to power led to covert rearmament and the Stresa Front's formation by Britain, France, and Italy in 1935. This coalition aimed to deter German aggression but collapsed due to internal conflicts and external pressures, paving the way for the Axis powers and WWII.
