You could at least provide some evidence and supporting examples. Your comment just said that one followed the other. I'm criticizing your argument, not your conclusion (though I do think your conclusion is a bit of a stretch, but that gets into a whole other argument about what it really means for one event to cause another, is the Arch Duke's driver getting lost REALLY the cause of WWI or would it have happened anyway due to some other reason a few months later because Europe was such a powder keg, yadda yadda yadda).
- andruby 9y agoI didn't dive into this deeper, but that's at least how it was being thought at school here in Belgium (~year 2000). Summarized from memory: At the end of the 1st world war, Germany was given a huge fine. The Deutsche Mark, deliberatly or not, devalued a lot. The large recession and poverty gave the opportunity for facism and the Nazi party to gain popularity. After the 2nd world war the allied forces realized that giving Germany a huge fine had been a mistake, and thus they didn't repeat that after the 2nd world war.
