“Had the Allies strictly enforced the First World War Armistice terms, Germany and Hitler’s NAZI regime would have been put out of business with a minimal loss of life and treasure”
Think hard Call to Duty video game commando. See if you can dream up why the USA, Britain and France did not decide to invade Germany in 1933?
Although wars are really fun, and hindsight is 20/20, England was devastated financially and psychologically by the war. They basically had an entire generation of young men slaughtered. The USA was wallowing deeper into the great depression and had just overturned Prohibition. WWI combined with the Spanish Flu was not exactly a fond memory among Americans. The gathering of WWI vets had just been mowed down by McArthur in DC.
France? They had higher losses than England and were still trying to figure out which brick went with which in the rubble. The other Ally, Russia, was in Stalin’s death grip right then experiencing the worst of their terror. And last, having been given the finger at Versailles by the others, former Ally Japan was beginning to act oddly in China right about then.
Everyone who fought in the war was sitting around in catatonic shock writing cathartic tomes of novels.
And right then, exactly then,,, because the Germans were violating some small provisions in Versailles, you think a leader then could have made a case for attacking Germany?
There was nobody, anywhere, who thought Germany needed attacking in the early 1930s. Or really even in the late 30s right up until they launched the war.
Your ignorance about the history of Hitler’s pre-war aggressions is a yawning black hole given your misuse of the dates. It gives the impression you know far more about a software game called Call of Duty than you do about the real world, so your attempt at sarcasm is a complete flop. Before tossing around such ignorant accusations, try looking up the dates for the German reoccupation of the Rhineland and other actions prohibited by the Armistice. Also note how the German military leadership says they would have removed Hitler and his NAZI Party from power by force if the Allies had moved to enforce the terms of the Armistice. Your attempt to trivialize the vast number of lives and the vast treasures lost in the war due to the failure of Europe and the United States to enforce the Armistice and the Kellogg-Briand Pact reflects poorly on your conduct.
