[Wallace T.]

Over eighty years ago, the Morgenthau Plan, proposed by Treasury Secretary Henry Morgenthau Jr., was a plan for the post-World War II treatment of Germany that aimed to deindustrialize the country and turn it into an agrarian economy. Key aspects included dismantling German industry, closing its mines, and partitioning the country. While the Morgenthau Plan was discarded due to Cold War realities, which required rehabilitation of West Germans, the Germans themselves are self-implementing that plan.

GREAT POINT and knowledge of history!

I knew of the Morgenthau Plan, but didn’t remember it / think about it with respect to this event.

Perfect! < chef’s kiss>
