    Germans were a victim of WW1.

    What a way to start a history analogy… 😬

      Well they allied with the country that got their leader assassinated, while I wouldn’t call them a “victim” until the post war period when everyone agreed that it was exclusively their fault somehow, most people have no fucking clue why WW1 was started and just assume it’s “Nazis round 1” which just… Isn’t true in the slightest.

      Austria Hungary lost their archduke to a serbian assassin and then Germany used it as an excuse to take land and invade neighboring countries. While not a good thing, it’s not much different than what every other country in the history of warfare has done.
