Actually no
Germany had been rebuilt mostly with US funds and was completely and totally dependent on that incoming cash flow. And when the Wall Street crisis rocked the world in 1929, the US investors panicked and withdrew their funds & savings. Germany suffered the most during the depression for these reasons.

Fight the stereotypes. I'm quite often provoked for having lived in the USA and I never tire of telling these ruffians that not all Americans are fat ignorant bible-thumping TV addicted gun-wielding arrogant weirdos who can only place two countries on a world map besides the USA: Canada and Mexico.

And I wonder how long these "Vassals" would have survived without other Allied support in the past and now. Nice of us to pay for the protection of Europe during the cold war with our defenses.

Once again, no one's disputing the fact that Europe owes its freedom to the US. It's just that it marvels me that it should translate into obedience and compliance with any US whims.

As for the "outlawing of certain English terms", the whole affair was laughed upon and the minister who suggested it is/was a joke. Talk about blowing nothing out of proportion

Don't worry, no one does.
