Versailles wasn't even that bad. The Germans, in all their high and mighty militantly nationalist culture of the time literally born from blood and iron, just got pissy because their winning streak came to an end and they had to pay reparations that weren't even on par with what they forced France to do in 1871 or Russia to do in 1917 after helping to start a whole fucking World War.
Could you pay 1,000,000,000 Marks with your country devastated? Would you have people starve, to pay of the country's debt? Or would you fight back in defiance?!
That's what I thought.
That doesn't excuse genocide.
Yeah, the Treaty was messed up, but that doesn't excuse oppression by the Nazis.
