Versailles and January 6

The treatment of Germany after World War I, particularly through the Treaty of Versailles, set a dangerous precedent that contributed significantly to the outbreak of World War II. The treaty imposed harsh economic reparations on Germany, demanding exorbitant sums that crippled its economy and fueled resentment among the German population. This economic hardship, coupled with territorial losses and military restrictions, created a fertile breeding ground for extremist ideologies like Nazism to flourish. Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party capitalized on the widespread disillusionment and anger over the perceived injustice of Versailles, promising to restore Germany’s former glory and seek revenge against those who had humiliated the nation. The punitive measures imposed on Germany after World War I not only destabilized Europe but also laid the groundwork for another devastating global conflict, highlighting the profound consequences of how defeated nations are treated in the aftermath of war.

I can’t help but see a similarity with the potential return of you-know-who, no not Voldemort. But maybe Harry Potter could run on the Democratic ticket.
