I’m watching this show on WW2 and I’m realizing that it would have been nice if our schools taught us about Germany pre WW1 so that we could understand the juxtaposition that its people were in after the treaty of Versailles that ultimately led to WW2

Hi OP, one thing that is overlooked was Woodrow Wilson. He was a PHD as President and did things on his own without committees. Europe took advantage of this throwing bureaucrats at him. He was ill one day and that was the day of the treaty of Versailles. France and England jammed what they wanted. When people become destitute, it ushers in extremists later on. France and England didn’t care.

💀💀 to be clear I obviously don’t agree in any way with what culminated but by juxtaposition I just mean based off how things were in Germany prior to to the treaty of Versailles what led the German people to be so wholly in favor of hitlers reign

juxtaposition is not the right word here, the germans had a plight or perhaps a crisis

The literal definition of juxtaposition is the act of placing two+ concepts or ideas side by side, did you not just do that in your comment

But either way, the juxtaposition i am referring to is, I’m sure many of the German commoners did not want to go to war again in any way but they vehemently disagreed with the treaty of Versailles and its complete and utter accusation of Germany being the driving force of WW1 so that dichotomy of belief is a juxtaposition imo and hitler used that hesitancy to pick a lane as his motive to take power and begin his rule

it’s doing that to emphasize their difference, night and day is a juxtaposition but day and sun is not

Hold on, we don’t clown on people who come here in good faith, even if their analysis doesn’t add up neatly. As for the subject…the German population obviously was not a monolith, so you had people who felt all sorts of different things. That being said, militaristic tendencies were definitely still widespread, along with war weariness. Both existed, often at the same time. German WW1 vets were literally shooting each other and beating each other up in the streets over monarchism vs socialism.

Think of it this way. Imagine you were beaten up in a long fight by someone you hate. You would feel exhausted but also still want to get back at them, right?
