The war indemnity imposed on the Weimar Republic was no greater, per capita and priced against gold, than the indemnity the new German Empire imposed on France after the Franco-Prussian War.
But the French whined a lot less than the Germans.
The Kaiser sent Lenin to Czarist Russia.
The Germans were making secret war development deals with Soviet Russia before the Versailles Treaty was drafted.
Pretty much, Hitler would not have been possible without the secret re-armament program of Weimar.
And then came Hitler, who could have had peace with the West if he had just controlled himself. Germany only had about 500K Jews (compared to 3.5M in Poland and the 3M in Russia, after the latter partitioned Poland-Lithuania). That is almost a rounding error. If he had just ghettoized them and offered them a cash bounty to get the hell out of Germany, it would have ended up low on the List of Dick Moves by Western Nations against the Jews.
Stalin's price to ally against Germany was Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and parts of Poland and Finland. The West refused to pay and Hitler knew it, even as the West was giving him 90% of everything he asked for.
So: the Germans were always scumbags, and Hitler made it worse.
Oh, I wasn't thinking in those terms, I was just in "we got dragged into wars at all" mode. I don't think Islam had anything in particular to do with either world war?
I think OP of this comment thread was referring to "we tried ignoring [europe's shenaniganry]", rather than "we tried ignoring [the muslims featured in OP image]"
Your elites didn't care what the American people wanted anymore than they do now. They were the ones to drag you into WW1, much more so than the Germans.
We tried ignoring the fuckers in 1914, wound up going in 1917.
We tried ignoring the fuckers in 1939, wound up going in 1941.
Fuckers keep dragging us into their shit.
I think we can all agree Hitler was partially everyone's fault since we shat on Germany so hard they went full extremist.
That's a lie.

Japan dragged us in for sure for WW2. We were out of it until they attacked Pearl Harbor. That's the extent of my knowledge on the subject though.

Roosevelt was itching for a fight. The American people was dragged into it. The elites though ? The deep state goes back a long way...

Don’t forget that time they decided the world wasn’t having enough wars so they decided to bang huge planes into buildings that didn’t belong to them.
