One other thing one has to bear in mind is that the treaty of Versailles left no nation happy and satisfied. This created a lot of very disenfranchised, very angry people, who were going to make their opinions known in about 20 years. From the perspective of the average German citizen, they only got involved because they heard that Russia had mobilized their army, and now they were being issued terms of dictated peace when they weren’t even the ones who started the damn war. One other thing one has to bear in mind is how much slower information traveled back then. Though to understand what led us to this sad point, we must journey back to 1918 where the treaty of Versailles was just signed with article 231 placing the entire blame for the first world war, the war to end all wars, squarely upon “Germany and her allies”, forcing them to pay back an impossible sum in war reparations, disarm as a nation, and several other egregious conditions. A few among them are the type who would apologize for being blown up moments prior to it happening, though one could argue that that is the exact kind of appeasement that got them into this mess in the first place. The British are the nice kinds of guys that are always so polite and courteous that one can’t help but take a liking to them. Across the English channel, into Africa, and driving deep into Berlin to be precise. The British….the British…the British are coming.
