I also doubt that most western Europeans would be grateful for the 85,000,000 deaths (in both WWI and WWII) that resulted from American intervention in WWI (which led to directly to WWII) if they understood how it went down.

Ahh, I see, we should have let the Germans win WW1 because then there would have never have been a WW2.
Ironic that you mention Eastern Europe. If that Atomic bomb hadnt been droped on the Japanese it is very likely that all of western europe would have fallen under communism. The russian war machine in theatre could have rolled over Eisnehower and co in a few weeks.

No: What I'm saying is that the conditions of the Treaty of Versailles were needlessly punitive against Germany, resulting in rampant inflation, economic collapse, and a political climate that (when combined with the electoral incompetence of both the Communists and the Social Democrats in Germany) Hitler and his rich industrialist backers were able to exploit.
