No. The inter-war period was just a lull, as Germany was not occupied and did not feel defeated. The onerous reparations actually incentived Germany to re-ignite WW1 into WW2.
Britain and France might as well have asked for it.

Rulers don't care about people, especially Trump. Study the de Vos appointment to understand how profoundly an oligarch he is.

The world moved faster, and that brought good and bad things. That’s what worries me... our institutions haven’t caught up with the internet.
