It doesnt sound right to me because we could have also not placed so much responsibility and cost onto Germany via that treaty and THAT seems to be a causal factor in how Germany responded with hostility in the first place.
What Germany did and the holocaust are not justified BUT that doesnt change the fact that the treaty of Versailles was also a real motivator to goad Germany into such behavior. We extracted too high a cost to Germany via that treaty.
Its never just ONE thing alone that creates these problems and its never just ONE parties fault and its never a simple matter of good vs evil.
Issues were simply not resolved and certainly the treaty of versailles only created even more issues to have conflict over.
