Yes, pretty much.You mean after decades of "We're not Germans, those meanies forced us into things!"?
Lies and propagandaYou mean after decades of "We're not Germans, those meanies forced us into things!"?
How about if Germany joins AustriaSadly unification at this point is impossible because Austria and Germany have there own national identity.
"Shit, is so impudent...I have to take my hat off!"How about if Germany joins Austria![]()
Well if you want to take that argument, than Germany peacefully annexed Europe.The EU. Germany and Austria (and France and Poland and..) are 'unified'. So, OTL.
Exactly what I am saying last 10 years.Well if you want to take that argument, than Germany peacefully annexed Europe.
Well to be fair to the Weimar German leadership, no one anticipated Hitler and WW2, they expected a Soviet-Weimar deal in the long run that would undermine Poland and raise the issue of Danzig enough to get it back eventually. Had the Nazis not risen to power and Weimar survived then they could have gotten back at least Danzig and with it the economic subordination of Poland in the long run.Weimar Germany was fatally uninterested in reaching non-zero-sum arrangements with its neighbours, at least its eastern neighbours. This was a huge mistake: Germany ended up losing far more territory than the Corridor after the second war!

In terms of actually getting a stable, prosperous Europe and avoiding future conflicts, yes Weimar should have sucked things up and tried to make lemonade out of the lemons that was the situation as of the 1920s rather than try and go backwards.
