A better naval settlement would not necessarily abolish war. A narrower possibility is that Europe and the Pacific could experience separate conflicts rather than synchronised theatres of one global war. Different security incentives might delay one conflict by half a decade or more. Treaty success in this scenario means containing and decoupling crises rather than achieving permanent peace.

Why a different treaty might separate the European and Pacific wars
A more equitable settlement might not prevent war, but it could keep European and Pacific conflicts from merging into one world war.
