Versailles

Germany's reparations were reduced multiple times, then Hitler stopped paying them entirely in 1933. How did that cause a war that Hitler started 5 years later?

The "WWI caused WWII" line is German propaganda, which Keynes popularized after learning it from the German Treasury Ministry guy he had an affair with at the Versailles conference. Failure to enforce Versailles led to WWII.

Mises was right, as usual, saying failure to enforce Versailles was the cause of WWII, and Keynes was wrong. But you "Rothbardians" agree w/ Keynes and memory-hole Mises on this.

The “Treaty of Versailles led to Hitler” narrative must be one of the most repeated and harmful falsehoods about the 20th century, and it leads people to draw utterly wrong conclusions about the present.
