"People in America don't know the connection between WWI and WWII"

Sigh - those who will not learn from the lessons of history, condemn us all to repeat the bloody disastrous mess.

Of course the truly ignorant who have an agenda to push aren't really the slightest bit interested in knowing that it was the 'payback' demanded in order to cripple Germany so that "she would never be a world power again" that pushed Germany into the massive inflation & depression that primed the populace to be receptive to certain elements, which included Communists as well as those we all know about to want "Germany to rise again".

Certain bullies took better advantage of that than their political opponents.
