By contrast, as Henry Kissinger has argued, the victors in World War I could neither deter a defeated Germany nor provide it with incentives to accept the Versailles Treaty. Instead, they imposed harsh terms, hoping to weaken Germany permanently.
相反，恰如亨利·基辛格所说，一战的战胜国既未能遏制战败的德国，也未能鼓励它接受《凡尔赛条约》。相反，他们提出了苛刻的条件，希望借此永久削弱德国的实力。我们都清楚结局如何。
