"The roots of WWII do back directly to the draconian punishment France insisted on dealing out to Germany at Versailles, the end of WWI."

Which was in retaliation for Prussia imposing a 5 billion franc war indemnity and taking Alsace and Lorraine from France at the end of the Franco-Prussian war in 1871. And Prussia justified that because of the indemnity Napoleon imposed on Prussia in 1807. So, it could be said that the roots of WWII go back to Napoleon.
