Seriously though, the USA is virtually always bad.

      You want to explain that giant limbo to me? The US wasn’t even in on the treaty of Versailles if that’s what you’re taking about.

        The US wasn’t even in on the treaty of Versailles if that’s what you’re talking about.

        The US however was very stringent in demanding repayment for all weapons it provided to UK and France, with interest, which necessitated those countries being harsh with Germany over war reparations in turn. German war reparations essentially all flowed to America, to say they weren’t in on the treaty is true but it’s sleight of hand ignoring the role US played in dictating the economic direction of Europe through its role as creditor.

        Then, you had US industrialists funding and working with the Nazis as they rose to power.
