“Germany still would have gone into a Great Depression because the rest of the world did, so it would have changed nothing” is the statement that refutes (or disproves) the given thesis.
Answer: Option A
<u>Explanation:
</u>
The counter-argument that has now been made for decades against the reason-ability of the punishment given to Germany by the allies is that if Germany had been given a feasible punishment, it would not have had gone for the commencement of another world war.
Some say that it was because of the unjust clauses put in the treaty of Versailles, Germany suffered on the economic and political fronts for many long years. While on the other hand, it is believed that after the advent of the Great Depression, Germany would have anyway suffered from these already prevalent crises all over the world.
