    I think perhaps you mean the Treaty of Versailles 'may' have possibly led to resentment & an upsurge in militarism in Germany in the 1930s. Hitler however aligned himself to what he needed to rise to power & promoted his ideal of the perfect 'Aryan race;' his expulsion of Jewish people from the Greater German Reich later led to a policy of extermination. The handicapped & others were also targeted, but to a lesser extent. tho it's all terrible to read.

    I think the Treaty of Versailles had rather hoped that Germany wouldn't ever threaten Europe again; could it have envisaged Hitler?

    He also said in regards to Tories that when we are enslaved by financial institutions and generations are in debts up to their necks mortgages housing Car loans credit cards etc etc they will regret it and look back at the greatest opportunity missed and rejected by the British public.

    HHe could never understand why the British public rejected Socialism when they had only one shot at it . Broke his heart because he saw what it was like before under tories and knew what the future held 💕

    Yes the Treaty of Versailles 💕

    Well yes and no some well known banks funded him .

    Hitler had high support in high places even amongst some Royals at that time here wh Edward VIII and his misses so pretty glad he abducated 💕

    The Conditions created a perfect breeding ground for him due to the economical climate so he could rise and yes eugenics was also a belief but not just by him it was practiced in other places too along with sterilisation programes including parts of U.S 💕

    I'd recommend D.J. Goodspeeds's 'The German Wars 1914-1945' for a dispassionate viewpoint on the world wars.

    It's actually quite brutal looking at history. It's like the more you read the less you wish to know 💕

    In the worst condition you usually get these psychopathic leaders 💕

    Mussolini and his blackshirts that marched through the East end of London trying to stir pots and clashing.

    Hitler had many politicans her that admired him and his brownshirts so it's not just the leaders it's all the public that supported them

    Thats the thing history has taught me

    Under the right conditions and full of resentments people can do the worst of the worst to their fellow human beings

    That's why my trust is non existent 💕

    World War II was the result of multiple factors, not just the Treaty of Versailles. While its harsh terms worsened Germany’s economy, the Great Depression and the failure of the Weimar Republic also contributed to the rise of extremism, including Nazism. Hitler’s expansionist ambitions focused on creating a "Greater Germany" by conquering Europe, particularly Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland. His genocidal policies made him a severe threat.

    The Treaty of Versailles played a role in the conditions that allowed Hitler to rise, but economic collapse, political instability, and Nazi extremism were equally significant. When Hitler invaded Poland in 1939, Britain and France, bound by defence pacts, declared war, triggering global conflict despite earlier appeasement efforts.

    Supporting Ukraine now in my opinion is money well spent. The costs of inaction far outweigh the costs of assistance. By standing up to Russia's aggression, we defend Ukraine’s sovereignty and protect global security, stability, and democratic values. If unchecked, Russian expansionism could threaten European security and, eventually, the UK’s own safety.

    It is good to look at spending critically, but it can also be a problem to have tunnel vision on such matters as well I think. Yes, there is money being spent on Ukraine, and there is money allotted to be cut from welfare. There are also thousands of other areas where there is spending or government revenue being lost.

    And just a gentle reminder that we are all here because we are either disabled or we have disabled family/friends, we are carers or we care about disability advocacy. We may have differing opinions on foreign policy and the spending that happens on it, but we shouldn't lose sight of what we have in common.

    The last bit is a repeat of the Western news bubble Propaganda .every President for last half a century has warned of crossing Russias red lines .

    A few bad apples are behind it escalating . Boris Johnson flew over there to derail peace talks which both parties wanted. Ukraine is being used as a pawn in a bigger game and they absolutely knew it had no chance of winning.

    We nearly got a Satan missile launched at us thanks to Boris Johnson.

    We could all go up in a mushroom cloud Russia has just as good nuclear as U.S and U.k even better.

    The military industrial complex is dangerous

    IIt could end all life on earth now....like any minute

    As Tupac said they got money for wars but no money to fed the poor. 💕

    Exactly Cath by escalating wars who is it benefiting ? We were all asked here to take in families who were displaced they have lost everything. In U.S they were homeless living on the streets in tents while it was happening.

    War is a rich man's game it never benefits the people. Thr people take all the risks and Consquences

    That s why Corbyn was expelled over Ukraine because he spoke up about it and got expelled and lots of others got suspended because he is a peacekeeper 💕

    Looked on my news feed for other news and it's all about weapons. UK has a new missile it wants to test and show off and biden ramping it up because he only has 2 months left

    Biden Allows Ukraine to Strike Russia With Long-Range U.S. Missiles

    Russia will not use retaliation will they 💕

    Obama was not wrong about what he said about Biden! He has a long record of supporting wars and messing things up 💕

    1. “This is a war to end all wars.”

    — Woodrow Wilson, 1917

    President Woodrow Wilson made the saying famous, but he was not the first one who used it. The British futurist writer and social commentator H.G. Wells invented the phrase. He predicted that WWI would be the last war in his article titled “The War That Will End War,” published in The Daily News on Aug. 14, 1914. Three years later, President Woodrow Wilson also said that the war will "make the world safe for democracy"  to justify his call for a declaration of war on Germany. He was convinced that America's involvement in the war was essential to protect human freedom.

    JJust for your records 💕

    In same article it speaks of a nurse Vera.

    She says she wished those encouraging war could see what she sees. Mustard gas sticking soliders eyes together unable to see knowing they were about to take their last breath while chocking to death.

    It's heartbreaking to read and that was mustered gas

    There is no proved success of prolonged war in history none

    And I like the saying if peace was as profitable as war there would be peace overnight

    This world has a deep sickness it's depraved violent and greedy 💕

    I don't understand much about wars, why,where,what etc.

    I don't pretend to and I don't want to.

    I think they're absolutely disgusting and pointless though and anyone causing one or escalating one is either deranged or warped.

    Let's just hope what that pillock Biden has done doesn't result in anything major and that the russian clown (who is about as stable as a Frank Spencer shelf) will wait for his bestie to get in and listen to him about peace.

    if not I won't appreciate starring in a remake of threads.

    Corbyn would have made the world a better place so gutted that opportunity gone 💔

    Yes I love peacemakers like Corbyn 💕

    I do feel religious when I read Jesus saying peacemakers will inherit the earth. 💕
