Germany was hurt and punished for a war they had not begun. The german people had been pushed into a terrible time of poverty and that brought along hatred for the persecutors. They had been shamed and they were suffering. If they had not been punished so harshly it would've affected a second World War. The german people would not have been so easy to manipulate by Hitler and the Nazi's. There would not have been an opening for him to slip in. England and France had it in THEIR hands, they could have been lenient but they punished Germany to the fullest and it affected the people and in outcome the next war. Without that punishment we could have saved so many people.
