At times I thought perhaps Germany should have won WWI as there were really no true bad guys in WWI, except for the Ottomans.
I disagree, the Germans were already savage brutes in WW1, pioneering the use of chemical bombs and flame throwers. They also poisonned wells during their retreats, burning entire towns. They had an official policy of terror on the populations living on the lands they occupied and were already commiting plenty of war crimes in WW1 (especially towards the Belgian people), deliberatly attacking civilian targets (see submarine warfare). In my opinion they fully deserved the Versailles treaty. The infrastructure of their country was intact, they had to pay.
