I don’t think we are talking about the same thing here. Let me spell it out.
After WW1 Germany was purposefully humiliated - that led to the rise of Hitler
After WW2 the American funded Marshall plan helped Germany reconstruct
Which seems the better choice / outcome
But the Marshal Plan was only possible after Hitler was dead and Germany had been bombed to rubble. Sometimes, the Stick has to come before the Carrot.
