Before World War II broke out the world took a backseat ride during Hitler's ascent to power. The whole world didn't think that he would become as powerful as he became. Hitler attained his power by counting on the innocence of the world to sit back and let him to do as he pleased. At that time the world was too overwhelmed about political, economic and militant chagrin to concern about a yelling German who thought we would rule the world. Ahead of and during the war, the world was concerned about the economic system. Ever since World War I, the world countries have been in and out of depressions, no one wanted another costly war.
