No. The inter-war period was just a lull, as Germany was not occupied and did not feel defeated. The onerous reparations actually incentived Germany to re-ignite WW1 into WW2.

Britain and France might as well have asked for it.

Rulers don't care about people, especially Trump. Study the de Vos appointment to understand how profoundly an oligarch he is.

There’s more to it than just Germany. The postwar disillusionment with the old order and the boom/bust was amplified by things like radio and telephone.

The world moved faster, and that brought good and bad things. That’s what worries me... our institutions haven’t caught up with the internet.

Germany had hyperinflation and very unstable government. It was a bad time until hitler said “make Germany great again”.
