Look at all the territory Germany could've had

Actually Germans caused WW2 to 'get back' territories they had forcefully annexed during the partitions of Poland and that had a Polish majority.

While I can understand German complaints about losing the territory after WW2, they really had no reason to start this war for the territory that was lost after WW1, because it was historically and ethnically Polish. And actually Germany was treated lightly in Versailles because the Cambon Commission proposed that Poland should be given Gdańsk, the whole territory along the Vistula, more parts of East Prussia and a much bigger part of Silesia and the French also supported it, just Lloyd George of England vetoed it because he didn't want to weaken Germany too much.

If Germans accepted the reality (that wasn't really harmful to them), WW2 would have never started and they wouldn't have lost their ethnic clay.

Pic rel (red line) was Polish demands btw.

yes the eastern borders after WW1 were fine, I don't see why the German politicians recongized the western borders but not the eastern borders
I also think the loss of Alsace-Lorraine to France and Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium was worse than what was lost to Poland in the east after WW1

Leave Poland the fuck alone

>I think losing a land with people who all speak French and want to be french is worse than losing land inhabited by ethnic germans who speak only german and support germany
You're retarded.

>I don't see why the German politicians recongized the western borders but not the eastern borders

Because it was easy to bully weak Poland instead of strong France and German politicians wanted to cater to nationalists.

no referendum was ever held and France all but erased the Alsatian language and culture by now

>and want to be french is worse than losing land inhabited by ethnic germans who speak only german and support germany

You are retarded. What Germany lost after WW1 to Poland was ethnically Polish. There were several counties with German majority and there was a substantial German minority here and there but overall this land was mostly Polish.

and the territories lost to Poland after WW1 weren't inhabited by a German-speaking majority, unlike Alsace-Lorraine

there was clear Polish majority even according to biased German censuses

Unlike Alsace where there were no germans at all.
