Of course I know history 3154 and if you did you would know that the Versailles treaty was one of the main causes. To digress they forced a similar thing on Japan after WW2 its lucky the Japs didn't react the same way as the germans did. But back on track there was this sense of huge injustice also the depression and the disastrous Weimar republic feeding into the powder keg that was 1930s Germany. By the time "appeasement" happened the fuse was long ago lit and it was just a matter of when it would blow. Appeasement was so irrelevant and I can't believe you tried to use it as an excuse to justify the Iraq invasion. And Germanys war machine was so powerful thanks to General Motors and DuPont and others who built their war factories. Some say thats the real reason USA held off fighting in WW2 because of all the American money invested in Germany.
