Considering its murders and sins, Germany undoubtedly deserves a cruel, crushing peace. The real test of the future peace settlement, however, is not whether Germany deserves it but whether one can afford it. There is little to choose between Germany's barbarities and aggressions and those of Japan. Numerous Germans became pro-Hitler when he won bloodless victories which, in the Nazi-induced fog of nationalistic frenzy, seemed to confer benefits on Germany at no cost. Germany recently conducted a full-scale experiment in democracy. Between 1919 and 1932, but particularly until 1929, Germany was a democracy with broad public support.
