Many people would let this slip by without a moment's thought. But, some would argue, it was the Allied faction's lust to crush an already devastated loser that set the stage for WWII. It's something to think about: the Nazis wouldn't have come to power so easily if the Weimar Republic's economy was on the same footing as the rest of Europe instead of having an inflation rate so out of control that the postal service couldn't print stamps fast enough to keep up with the spiraling cost of postage. Imagine a world where Hitler was nothing more than a failed artist in a two-bit political group that wouldn't have lasted past the mid-1930's. Would that have prevented the Soviet bloc? The Cold War? The State of Israel?
