I disagree with the Federalist on this. Not just the repairs but the whole Versailles Treaty seemed calculated to cause another war. Which, is exactly what it did. Germany did not start WWI. It was not seeking to dominate Europe or indeed any territorial aggrandizement.

Sure it did. That was the whole point of it. It was tired of being Johnny-come-lately to the game of empire, and decided it was easier to just seize its neighbors to get the empires they had acquired.
