WW1 negotiation kind of to blame for WW2.

WW2 finished after the enemy was severely stomped into the floor.

Sure but the rest of the world could have rolled on Germany as soon as they started to break the conditions of the treaty.

Notice I said ‘kind of’ don’t have the time to type up about every geo political stance of the time. However, giving up land does not work.

Yeah, it shows a pathetic level of understanding of the two wars that shaped the modern world. No wonder he thinks he can bring manufacturing back, he doesn't know the post WWII order where Europe was rebuilding and Asia was not ready to produce high quality products is why the US could sell high quality reasonably priced products.

If you don't understand the conditions that led to when America was great, there's no chance to create conditions today. Spoiler, you can't use the same recipe, that time is long gone.

That's kinda conservatives and fascists whole shtick tho right? Appealing to the better days and doing it how we always have. Never trying to adapt, or learn new things, or try new strategies.

And further, WWI wasn't really a negotiation. Most Axis did surrender, and Germany was absolutely done at the end. As far as the negotiations in Paris went they barely had a voice while those that surrendered did.
