• B. Due to natural calamities in Europe.

Answer 1

The correct option is A To avoid another war.

Britain and France did not take preventive measures when Hitler rearmed Germany. They followed a diplomatic policy termed as policy of appeasement. In hopes of avoiding another war, they left Hitler’s expansions unchecked. The League could not do much when its prominent powers chose to ignore the aggressiveness of Germany.
