It wasn’t only the onerous Versailles Treaty that contributed to the malaise that later plagued post WW1 Germany.

It was also very deep corruption, a never-ending series of financial scandals, a depression, rule and domination of Germany people hostile to the German people themselves (as in the USA now), widespread communist agitation and a deep erosion of public morals, making for an “anything goes” digusting atmosphere.

Germany then was a tinderbox, quite apart from the unsound aspects of the Versailles Treaty.

Basically, the German people lost all faith in their ruling class and their government.
Which is happening here.

World war one was merely a warm up as it turns out “the great war”

World War II which pitted Germany Japan and Italy and many Muslim nations against the allies was the fight for world survival against totalitarian government and guess what ? we won
