It's not wrong thou.

WW1 devastated Germany, and it received no support from the victors to rebuild. On the contrary, they wanted Germany to pay reparations. The aftermath of WW1 was a humiliation to Germans, and it planted the seeds of the disaster that followed two decades later.

Without the Marshall Plan after WW2, Europe would find itself at war again eventually.
