World history is like a game of chess, with a dark force creating divisions, alliances and enemies, then controlling both or all sides to lead to a specific outcome. In the late 1800s, Britain was worried about the meteoric rise of Germany, its possible alliance with Russia and the way such an alliance would dominate the biggest landmass in the world (Eurasia). The deliberately punitive measures drawn up at the Treaty of Versaillles in 1919 tilled the soil for the desire of justice/retribution, and the later rise of nationalism, in Germany. Learn why Britain played the dual role of appeasement and provocation, and how the West helped to create the Nazis.
