Paper Introduction:
BRITAIN AND GERMANY- 1945- 1950
“To the victor goes the spoils,” says the ancient cliché. The fact that this was said at the treaty of Versailles which ended World War I, and which spawned Hitler and the Nazi Party, made the victorious Allies determined not to make the same political and economic mistake twice in a lifetime. West Germany was now under the strict control and foresight of Konrad Adenauer, while Britain (no longer Great) had shunted aside its wartime leader, Winston Churchill, in favor of a Labour government that gave new meaning to the word “ineptitude”. What happened? And how, and why? Perhaps a hint of what was in store for the next several years was “a graffito (which) appeared on a Berlin wall on March, 1945: ‘Enjoy the war- the peace is going to be terrible!’” (Bark 1989 5).
