To make matters worse, Germany lost all of its colonies, and had to a pay heavily in war reparations. Causing Germany’s economy to crash, and leaving many desperate for a better life.

Which the Allied Powers appease, causing Germany to expand more, until they invade Poland, causing Britain and France declaring war on Germany and causing World War II to begin. As a result, Germany will battle furiously against all the other Allied Powers, and invade the Soviet Union. This would lead to Hitler’s biggest mistake of killing many of his troops in the arctic cold, causing him to lose both fronts of the
