    Explanation: After the Nazi regime was overthrown in WW2, the Allies split Germany into two - east and west - in part to ensure control over ‘their’ portion of Germany, but also in part because Germany had (by their eyes, perhaps not wholly fairly wrt WW1) started two world wars over the course of 25 years, and they had gotten quite tired of that.

      Your explanation is semi true. After WW II Germany was divided in four parts. And Austria startet WW I. Germany has joined later.

      Not so sure either side actually grew tired of it… more that the US (publicly) grew more tired and fearful of the cold war.

      Looks around. I sure am glad the good guys won that war. Right? Right? We could have endless war for profit, genocides, unwarranted mass surveillance, children being murdered in schools and much worse.

        You do realize “This shit is horrific” does not need to imply “It would have been no big deal if the Nazis won”, right?

          I guess we’ll never know. But I’m sure the people in charge who have been raping and eating kids wouldn’t lie to you right? its not like they are making lists of " enemies" and killing civilians in broad daylight without a trial?

            … no, we very much do know. Have you forgotten the Holocaust? Generalplan Ost? The whole fucking second World War?
