It is 1918 and Germany has been defeated. Realistically, how would you redraw the map so as to truly prevent another war?
>>18489088Send all germutts to Polish reeducation camps
Pooland gets its coast back.France and the UK give up their overseas colonies.Russia gives up Ukraine.Iceland and Ireland gain independence.
>>18489088There was nothing wrong with the map. Britain and France just needed to contest the Rhineland's remilitarization
>>18489088Give all of germutty and shitaly to PolandNo fascists = no ww2
Split Germany back up into individual states, reform Poland-Lithuania.
>>18489088Just do what America and Russia did after WW2Germany gets fully occupied and split into two
>>18489088Make Poland bigger and deport germshits back into scandinavia
>>18489088Dismantle Germany and Italy as countries, divide Europe between France and Poland. Also abolish the British empire and give it all to France
based Poles and French always rape germshits
>>18489099>>18489101>>18489106>>18489107>>18489111>>18489115>realistically
>>18489088partition germutty betwen Pole and French Gods
>>18489088Give Italy what it was promised in the treaty of London first of all. Then I guess you could turn the rhineland into a free-territory like Sarré and Danzig. Aside from that either give German possesions in China over to the Chinese or acquiese to Japan's Racial Equality proposal. I don't think there is anything else the treaty of versailles could have done to change the course of history than that. Not quite realistic, but then again the most realistic option is just what actually happened.
The map was fine.The problem was that the allies appeared weak and passive.It's the whole reason why the US was very aggressive during the cold war, because they knew it could lead to ww3 if the Soviets felt bold enough to forward their positions without fear and America would need a war to stop them.Some also believe it was the cause for the Ukraine-Russian war today; the previous US administration was seen as passive, reactionary and weak, which is extremely dangerous for a hegemony because it increases that the rivals will risk and dare.TLDR: More active, aggressive, united UK/French foreign policy against Germany, Hungary, Soviet Union.
Make the Spartacists win in Germany, that prevents ww3. The Spartacists were Commies yes but they were also beta males so they would never try a ww2
>>18489088>It is 1918 and Germany has been defeated.The German spirit was not sufficiently broken. They needed to have bren actually invaded. Accept only an unconditional surrender afterwards. Occupation and reconstruction was also necessary but the Entente, having lost much themselves and being bitter about it, was not going to fix the issues in Germany which started the war, but would instead exploit it for their own ends. The map really doesn't need to be redrawn, the people need to feel as if they lost but can move on.
>>18489088Make all of Europe Greater Germany. No more brother wars.
>>18489111This is too far fetched even in the most hazy vodka fueled fantasy of a Pole
>>18489088make britain help finland and estonia take northern russia / recreate novgorod as a more nordic aligned country, cutting russia off from baltic sea - you see an extremist movement taking power in the biggest country on the continent, you know it'll mean suffering for their people and trouble for the rest of the europe soon;Help Germany rebuild to prevent any radicals movements to gain foothold and intervene the elections when some weirdos with crazy ideas are becoming too popular. Also - same as with russia - settle any land claims by neighbours by giving away as much Germany as possible. They started one great war, they're capable of doing it again.>>18489107also this is a good idea. keep a big enough country between the two that they couldn't easily deal with.
>>18489107>Split Germany back up into individual statesThis.
>>18489088Tardwrangle the french.Afaik they were the hawks that really wanted to take as much from the germans as possible.Make sure the germans arent fucked over by reparations as possible.This way perhaps it would be possible to prevent the rise of hitler.
>>18489088>Realistically, how would you redraw the map so as to truly prevent another war?Realistically speaking this is the only solution to prevent wars between national states.
>>18490024https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_War>Communist nation invades communist nationYeah right
>>18490022The reparations were legitimate and necessary to rebuilt the complete devastation Germany had caused in Northern France and Belgium.Anyway it's not reparations that made the German chimp out again but their sheer butthurt about having lost the war.Not asking reparations would just make Germany even stronger for the next chimp out.
>>18489771New wars are off the table. Britain and France were bordering catastrophe as it was. Some sordid campaign in Russia/Turkey/etc was completely out of the question.>>18490022I do not think that would work, even the bare meanimum of French demands would have caused German revanchism and eventually another war. It would just piss off the french for no reason. If anything you have do something drastic like sectioning off the Rhineland off Germany entirely (And not just de-militarizing it).
>>18490040Fortunately Poland exists to buckbreak germshits
