Was World War 2 Necessary if so why?

Yes, it was necessary. During the Great War, the main strategy of both sides on the western front was to outflank each other. However, as both sides were equally strong, the outflanking led to the Race to the Sea. After the Race to the Sea, as they could no longer outflank each other and no strategic offensives could be launched, the only strategy they could adopt is to go on the defensive which led to trench warfare.
