Why Revenge and Appeasement Seldom Work

Revenge:
         Throughout history, revenge has seldom worked mainly because after you the revenge on someone else, that person will retaliate and again get revenge back on you. After the USA, France, and Great Britain won World War 1, they wanted to get revenge on Germany for starting the war in the first place.  Great Britain, France, and the USA planned to do this by creating the Treaty of Versailles.  The main terms in the Treaty of Versailles consisted of Germany having to accept the blame for starting World War 1, pay 6,600 million pounds back for all of the damage during the war, they were limited on their amount of soldiers in their army and naval ships, they were forced to have no more tanks, air force, and submarines, and finally land was taken away from them and they were forbidden to have Anschluss with Austria.  Germany was very angry with this treaty because they thought it was way to harsh, but ended up following it completely.  There was one man who really did not like this treaty, and his name was Adolf Hitler.  He wanted revenge.  Immediately when he became Chancellor of Germany he started to break the treaty, and Britain and France just let them do it because it seemed reasonable to them and they had no intentions of stopping him. Hitler then built up his troops, built up the navy, took over Rhineland, made alliances, and even had Anschluss with Austria again and Britain and France barely even cared, because for some reason it all sounded reasonable to them.  Soon Britain and France wanted to have a meeting with Hitler and in that meeting they said if Hitler did anything more to break the treaty they would have to go to war.  About six months later Hitler broke it for the last time, and on September 1, 1939, World War 2 had begun.  As you can see revenge seldom works in this world because it will only lead to more revenge and retaliation.

Appeasement:
         Appeasement in this world also rarely works in society because most likely, whoever is getting appeased will most likely want more things, and when they want more things it is possible that they could ask to be appeased again, but if they don't get appeased a war could possibly start so they can get what they want.  For example, after World War 1 and the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was doing many things that were breaking the treaty, and was just getting appeased over and over again.  Germany, led by Hitler, was building up its troops, building up its navy, marching into Rhineland, making an alliance with Japan and Italy, and even got their Anschluss with Austria back.  Great Britain and France appeased Germany for every single one of those events even though they were completely against the signed Treaty of Versailles.  All appeasements lead to someone gaining more power, so with Hitler and Germany having so much appeasements, they gained a ton of power.  This power led them into breaking the treaty again, and again until Germany thought they were ready for a war which would start soon because of all of the things they did to go against the treaty. On September 1, 1939 that war finally started, and would later be named World War 2.  As you can see appeasements seldom work in society because it gives people so much power that they might be able to start a war and take over your entire civilization.
