So we’re at fault in World War 2?

Japan was already in a world war, aligned with Hitler, attacked us across the Pacific, and launched attacks throughout the region. Vicious racist soldiers who loved to torture and rape.

But yeah we “caused” it.

And we caused Hitler to declare war in us the same day.

Not.

Yeah let China have advanced technology because they aren’t threatening to use it against us.

—

The events that lead to WW2 were actually set in motion with Woodrow Wilson’s absurd League of Nations and the putative reparations which were placed on Germany following WW1.

[Nifster]

By this idiots logic North Korea and Russia shouldve attacked us long ago

There is a strong consensus of opinion among historians that the West did cause WWII. The post WWI treaties penalized German into severe inflation and misery. That proved to be a fertile situation for Hitler's rise. WWII was an extension to WWI, mostly due to an unreasonable peace.

General Marshall knew this. That is why there was a reconstruction following WWII rather than continued punishment.
