Not to mention the fact that German civilians were starving to death at the end of the war. Germany needed every ounce of industrial and agricultural output to right itself for years after the treaty was signed.

Again, inaccurate.

There was widespread hunger in Germany at the end of the war because most agricultural production was going to the front lines and the rest of Germany was well-blockaded by the UK navy.

Within months after the blockade ended, German domestic agricultural production and food consumption was approaching prewar levels.

France had worse food shortages in 1920 than Germany did.
