And before you dismiss what i've said; keep in mind that the dynamics you described above DIDN'T happen during WW2.
Actually, they did happen in the runup to WWII, for example with the various Naval Treaties. Originally everyone found a compromise, then there was less and less compromise in subsequent treaties until they couldn't get to anything anyone would sign any more.
Granted, it seems to me it was the idealists rather than the reactives that didn't want to compromise in both cases.
