    The war reparations that France demanded of Germany post WW1 contributed to creating an economic environment where the rise of a ‘National Socialist’ party seemed like a good idea to the average German. IIRC, America and Britain tried to get France to be more reasonable and France basically said “I’ll keep whipping until they stop crying” The Dawes plan helped provide European stability at the end of the 20s, but the crushing debt was used by Hitler as a tool in his rise to power.
