True to an extent, but Britain was willing to at least allow for some revision of the Versailles treaty once the depression hit Europe. Britain recognized that keeping Germany down was not conducive to either stability or prosperity in Europe. France would have none of it, however. France insisted on continued full enforcement of the treaty. It’s certainly understandable— France didn’t have a Channel protecting them from German aggression that they thought might occur if the treaty revision occurred. Ironically though full enforcement wound up producing a militaristic Nazi party in Germany resulting in precisely the outcome France hoped to avoid by enforcement of the treaty.

That’s why I hope that Hitler and Clemenceau are permanently chained together in Hell.
