WEll in a way yes but in a way no.It wasn't and it was the first time that the world actually came together and cracked on war crimes literally as a world.It was a first time for it and it actually worked.Most of the SS Guards were sentenced to death. A lot escaped to Argentina.But the nation of Israel cracked down on that and hunted them down in Argentina and did a good job at it.
Germany got screwed over in WW1 because they had no one of supporting themselves and they were forced into debt they couldn't pay off towards Britain and france thus someone like hitler got into power and WW2 happened.
The only thing I had a problem with was how the USA handled Japan.They did a lot of good things such as lowing there military power.Changing there economy into a free enterprise.But they never made Japan as a whole apologize to CHina for the war crimes they did.Japan can't even admit to it today.Can't even put it in a history book.Germany is the same way witht he holocaust.They can't put that into there school's history books.Not because no one is stopping them but because they are tooo ashamed.This is were I think USA society is really a bit better.In the fact that we admit to our wrong doings.TO the fact that we can ptu the most embarrassing and mos thorrible parts of our history in a history book.Such as slavery the slave trade and how so many people died in that that they couldn't count the deaths.To the monopolies and too our large gap between rich and poor during the late 19th century.And our Jim Crow Laws....but that stuff is another topic.
The topic here is that WW2 trials were too light.Phew.Seriously they weren't.Because the judges didn't allow "I was just following orders." to be an excuse.Most dealt with some serious jail time or death penalty.They didn't crack down on Russia and how they did a lot of war crimes.Such as the 200,000 German POWs going into Moscow and only 2,000 of them coming out alive.
