TIL: After the collapse is the Soviet Union, the British prime minister and French president were opposed to German reunification. They ‘feared’ that Germany would revert back to its imperial tendency’s and try to reclaim territory lost in WW2. This meant that in order to appease them, the new Germany had to agree to all of these treaties and amendments that basically set its borders in the most binding way possible. This still holds up today and I think it’s a really good example to show that the allies weren’t wholly good even after the war.
