Today is the 100 year anniversary of the Treaty of Versailles. America’s late entry into World War I created such an imbalance of power that the victors could impose terrible terms on Germany. Without America, a just peace could have been negotiated - preventing Hitler and Mao.

The actual issue with the treaty was being punitive without forceful. Allies should have occupied as they diid after the second WE
There was no limit to the reparations that Germany was expected to pay. Thanks to Keynes.

And the french did indeed occupy a part of the industrial heartland of Germany, when they simply couldn't pay the completely unrealistic goal. 300+ innocent german civilians were killed. The French are the real assholes who caused WW2.
