Yeah, Duedel, we foolishly make friends with all kinds of people.
Why, we were pretty friendly with Germany in the Post WW1 period. Wilson's "14 Points" were without doubt the very best terms offered to a defeated Germany.
The US rejected the Versailles treaty and the US and Germany signed a separate peace treaty in 1921 and a trade treaty in 1923.
Then the US tried to help even more; in 1924 the Dawes Plan eased Germany's payment schedule and provided for an international loan. In 1929, the Dawes Plan was replaced by the Young Plan which substituted a definite settlement and reduced payments appreciably.
Yep, we were pretty darn friendly with Germany through the late 1920's and most of the 1930's.
Of course, you see what we got for offering the hand of friendship that time, too.
