The Morgenthau Plan was a proposal to weaken Germany following World War II by eliminating its arms industry and removing or destroying other key industries basic to military strength. This included the removal or destruction of all industrial plants and equipment in the Ruhr. It was first proposed by United States Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. in a 1944 memorandum entitled Suggested Post-Surrender Program for Germany.[1]
That would’ve just crippled the economy and not done much about the Nazis…?
For the Versailles treaty, we punished them enough to piss them off but not enough to stop them from doing something about it. Didn’t help that we didn’t stop them from demilitarizing and such.
Hitler wouldnt have cared if ther versailles treaty was even worse and forbid any form of militarization.
The versailles treaty was bullshit anyways and caused Hitler.
If only we enacted the Morgenthau Plan😔

Yeah isn’t that kinda like what happened after World War One, which directly led to Hitler’s rise to power?

Exactly. Completely deindustrialized Germany and make it an agrarian nation again.
That worked so well for the DDR
With those Nazis still in power. Which helps exactly no one, except the Nazis.
