I won't argue that violence is only the short term solution, but I will say that your example isn't flawless, the reason WWII started was because of the harsh penalties inflicted on Germany, which led to economic collapse, and just general terrible consequences for Germany. I would also like to add that sometimes violence is really the only way to solve a problem, do you honestly see WWII in the European front being solved through negotiating? At that point the Nazis were too far gone to be talked with, they were fanatics willing to die for a morally abhorrent cause, and not capable of being reasoned with.
