Revenge vs. Appeasement 3-27-13

      Revenge and Appeasement don't really work in most situations. Its been proven many times in history. A way appeasement doesn't work is when Great Britain and France put all the restrictions on Germany. Germany was not allowed to have  any airplanes, any tanks, had to maintain a certain amount of troops, they split Germany up into other countries, and were not allowed to have any secret alliances.  This made Germany mad and they had to get revenge on them. This is when Adolf Hitler was elected. 
     
    One incident that proves revenge doesn't work is before World War II. The way Hitler got elected was by telling people he would get revenge on Great Britain and France for putting many restrictions,  When Adolf Hitler got elected he started to build airplanes and tanks and built a huge army. This was his plan for revenge. He eventually got Britain and France to notice what he was doing and they told Hitler to stop, but he didn't. His actions for revenge got France and Britain mad, this was a lead to World War II.
