The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne on June 28, 1914, in Sarajevo by Gavrilo Princip, a Bosnian Serb nationalist started World War 1. Outside of the French there was never any serious intention among the Allies to strip Germany of statehood after World War I. The Allies wanted to weaken, punish, and contain Germany, not erase it from the map. Hitler exploited what Versailles created. The Treaty of Versailles shrunk Germany’s borders (Alsace-Lorraine to France, large territories to Poland, Denmark, and Belgium). Germany lost all overseas colonies. Military was capped at 100,000 men, no tanks, no air force, and no submarines. Reparations were imposed, and Germany was branded with the “war guilt” clause (Article 231). A humiliated, economically crippled, and politically unstable Germany rose from the ashes. Facts are not apologetic or disappointing.

Sharkie, The fact that they allowed Germany to remain a country afterwards was a mistake. The treaty of Versailles was too lenient. Losing a war you start has consequences. History buffs go back-n-forth on whether the Treaty of Versailles was too punishing or too lenient. On the other hand, you are debating against a guy who served as an altar boy for a Holocaust-denier. Of course he's going to blame the rise of Hitler on factors that originated outside of Germany, rather than on the Germans themselves. In that sense, he can also blame the rise of Trump on factors that originated outside of America, such as the iNvAsIoN of iLlEgAl aLiEnS or the European purveyors of the gReAt rEsEt, not on domestic dumbass voters who have fallen for a personality cult.
