How right he was 84 years ago!
I am afraid that although Germany 'lost' both world wars it has actually 'won the peace' through its ownership of the EU, make no mistake Germany calls the shots in EU, they just changed 'Deutschmark' to 'Euro' and carried on taking over Europe state by state. The Euro makes it easy for Germany to rule EU trade, a common currency means that other EU countries cannot undercut it, although tourist dependent countries like Greece, Italy and Spain always need a relatively weak currency to make their destination attractive to tourists.
