(II) contradicts (I). Explanation: The peace treaties, particularly the Treaty of Versailles, imposed harsh and humiliating conditions on Germany, resulting in deep animosity and economic instability. With these unresolved tensions, the Second World War was simply a delayed continuation of the same worldwide power struggle. As a result, the defective 1919 peace directly led to the next big conflict.
