AOG,and all~
When Germany (as we know) lost WW1,the following occurred.
This is from Wikipedia~
In Article 231 Germany accepted responsibility for the losses and damages caused by the war "as a consequence of the ... aggression of Germany and her allies." The treaty required Germany to compensate the Allied powers, and it also established an Allied "Reparation Commission" to determine the exact amount which Germany would pay and the form that such payment would take. The commission was required to "give to the German Government a just opportunity to be heard", and to submit its conclusions by 1 May 1921. In the interim, the treaty required Germany to pay an equivalent of 20 billion gold marks ($5 billion) in gold, commodities, ships, securities or other forms. The money would help to pay for Allied occupation costs and buy food and raw materials for Germany.
The above was instigated by France,because of her shame (at being occupied)and her hatred for Germany.
Germany after WW1 was destitute,her government had brought Germany to it's knees financially in the war.Add this poverty to France's greed,and you leave the way open for a dictator;which just so happened to be Hitler.He played on the people's fears,and gave them hopes which (in the end) could not be fullfilled.So, most post WW1 Germans saw Hitler as a saviour,what,or who, else could restore Germany to it's rightful place in the world.When you are poverty stricken you turn to anyone for help, even if you have doubts.
