** The Treaty of Versailles that ended UsefulNotes/WorldWarI is often accused of laying the groundwork for UsefulNotes/WorldWarII by creating numerous grievances among both the victors and the vanquished while also leaving Germany in a position to rebuild their empire. The armistice also helped spread the "Stab in the Back" myth that Germany had not been defeated in the field but simply betrayed by their government.[[note]]In truth, the Germans were depleted and on the retreat on the Western front after the American entry into the war and the introduction of tanks on the Allied side. Meanwhile, the Balkan front had completely collapsed already and the Allies were pushing up to Vienna, which would have allowed them to knock Austria-Hungary out of the war and outflank Germany's western and eastern army group forces completely.[[/note]] During [=WWII=], the Allies demanded nothing less than unconditional surrender and occupied and de-Nazified Germany so they wouldn't have to deal with a resurgent FourthReich ever again.
