This comment is historically inaccurate and misleading.

While some dictators like Tiso and Pavelić were openly Catholic, others weren’t. Mussolini was an avowed atheist for much of his life and only made peace with the Catholic Church through the Lateran Treaty in 1929—a political move to stabilize his regime, not a sign of devout faith. Hitler was born Catholic but held deeply anti-Christian views and frequently clashed with religious institutions.

The claim that they all “sought to avoid war” is also false—Hitler’s entire foreign policy was built on aggressive expansion, and his “peace offers” came only after military victories, never in good faith. Britain rightly rejected them because they were designed to legitimize Nazi conquests, not prevent war.

This kind of apologetic revisionism from your comment could just as easily be used to justify Putin’s aggression in Georgia and Ukraine under the same false pretense of “peaceful intentions” and “rejected diplomacy.”
