Plus, the real reason Adolf Hitler came to power is... the U.K. itself. The U.K. was so selfish that it screwed over much of Europe and the world.

Had the United Kingdom been a modern democracy, and not a democracy based on competition-for-the-sake-of-competition (meaning leaner and meaner than the rest while holding on to being all-powerful with all their might), then Hitler would not have come into being.

The action was put in place by the U.K., dominating the global economy for three centuries. The others didn't have a chance, though France was able to mimic the U.K. to some extent.

The reaction got put in place in angry fashion, and we can lay the anger at the feet of the angry. Yet the reason for their anger lies squarely at the feet of the U.K. (and France), occupying so much of the world that the Germans (and others) desperately longed for lebensraum.

Yes, mankind is not all that kind. Yet the leader of the world sets the tone for what happens next.

The U.K. (and France) forced the creation of Germany and Italy because their smaller former parts in Germany and Italy did not stand a chance to have any economic chance in that global game led by the U.K.

Conclusion: The U.K. birthed Adolf Hitler. Anyone with a brain could have seen that coming.

Thank you, United States of America, to bring down the British Empire after WW II, opening the larger playing field for all nations. With the independence of many nations, Germany could finally be itself (and did well).

Had that not happened, we would have had WW III and WW IV already by now.

If only the U.K. and France had understood after WW I that they were the actors (and not the reactors), then Adolf Hitler would not have come to power.

It is a major lesson to all nations that are in the lead. Be based on lousy principles, and sooner or later you will have helped birth a horrible power elsewhere that will come either for you or for your friends.
