How to prevent the second World War as Hitler

I have been playing HOI4 for a while and have the basic mechanics down to play that game somewhat competently. But I have heard that as Nazi Germany I could reform the Wiemar Republic and prevent WW2 entirely, but whenever I attempt to play as a pacifist Hitler and avert Europe from plunging itself into conflict through diplomacy, either Italy, Great Britain or the Soviets and even Poland at times decide to go on a bloodthirsty rampage and start essentially a delayed Great War and I'm usually dragged into it.

Is there really a way to stop World War 2 in HOI4 as the Nazis, or is it just destined to happen no matter which country you play as?

I don't think that in the game about war you can completely prevent WW2 from happening. You can be a target of a war declaration, there is very little you can do to prevent 2 other countries going after each other. Every major power has national focuses that give war goals.

You can try to improve diplomatic relations with everyone, and you can simply ignore call to arms from your allies. Additionally, having a strong army may discourage others from attacking you.
