Germany was left in Ruins by the previous was, with the pride in their nation destroyed by their failing economy and overall distrust from the rest of the world. France was not wanting to start another war, having been critically damaged by the last one, and they were the only one willing to establish foreign relations.

Canada furthered their sanctions against Germany, but this only increased their anger.
