A similar happens in the Terminator movie series:

if Skynet wouldn't have sent a T-800 back in time to kill Sarah Connor, the Human Resistance wouldn't have sent Kyle Reese back in time to protect her. Then Kyle Reese wouldn't have made love to Sarah, and they wouldn't have conceived John Connor, who grows up to be the leader of the Human Resistance and hands Skynet its final defeat.

So, paradojically, by trying to prevent its defeat, Skynet ended up ensuring it would happen.

Likewise, when Skynet sent the Terminatrix back in time in a last effort to kill a pre-Judgement Day John Connor, the Human Resistance sent a reprogrammed T-800 back in time to protect John. The reprogrammed T-800 told the past John about how, in the future, a T-800 would kill him and Kate Brewster would take his place as leader of the Human Resistance. Thus, when the future John Connor was confronted by said T-800, he avoided being killed and he defeated that T-800 because he remembered what the reprogrammed T-800 told him in the past.
