Sounds like the French after WWI; their greed caused a humiliated Germany to back a mad man to even the score.

It wasn't French "greed", it was weakness.
In fact, the Allies treated Germans much better than Germans treated their own victims, i.e., Belgium & Russia.
But unlike post-Second World War, after the First World War Allies did nothing to enforce peace terms.
So aspiring politicians among National Socialists blamed "the Jews" and a "stab in the back", insisting they were never really defeated.

Between the sins of "greed" and weakness, weakness is by far the greater and less forgivable.
