Western democracies often hesitated to stop aggression due to a combination of factors, including the desire to maintain peace following the devastation of World War I, economic constraints, and a belief in diplomacy over military intervention. The policy of appeasement, particularly in the lead-up to World War II, reflected a hope that concessions could prevent larger conflicts. Additionally, the rise of authoritarian regimes and their aggressive actions were underestimated, leading to a delayed response until the threat became undeniable.
