involved which is exactly why someone had to be blamed
- 00:27
And it sure as heck wasn't gonna be the victorious
- 00:30
allied powers even though all four of our potential answers
- 00:33
were involved in the great war on ly one of

them took everyone share of the blame So which poor
- 00:39
sap took on the role of scapegoat Well let's take
- 00:42
a look at cnd seeing as a big part of
- 00:45
taking responsibility for the war involved paying reparations for damages

which came with a hefty war debt He took nearly
- 01:43
one hundred years to repay this debt affected the german
- 01:47
economy and site geist our overall mood so much that
- 01:50
it actually paved the way for adolf hitler's eventual rise
- 01:53
to power in the late nineteen twenties and thirties The
