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?
To an extent, it comes down to RNG (because of USSR, Italy and Japan), but here's how you can delay/prevent it:
This can take you very far, as far as 1944/1945, while building up your army and your provinces without going into war. The issue now is that the Commintern will try to expand, and if they are afraid of attacking the Axis, they may try to go for Turkey/Iraq/Iran. At the same time Japan may go for Pearl Harbor, which will drag you into a war with the Allies.
Which is fun, because in theory the Allies will only be France, US and the UK, and the Axis should be Germany, Japan, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Slovenia, Croatia, Czhecoslovakia, Netherlands and Italy.
So instead of a World War, you'll have two big wars, with Allies vs Axis, and Commintern vs neutrals. This isn't too bad, because You won't have to worry about the Eastern Front, and if you blitzkrieg France, set up defenses on the coast and send your ships to blow up the British Coast, it will be fairly easy to win that war, thus preventing soviet intervention.

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.
