"I want to rest and recuperate my soldiers!" "You damn war maniac, you want to train your soldiers so you can kill even more people??"
I get that it's meant to be funny, but it's really getting tiresome.

It's more complicated than that.
Basically, this Germany is an emerging super power that threatens the power other powers holds at the time.
So to keep their positions and power, every other nation seek to put the emerging powerhouse that is this Germany down.
On the other hand, this Germany wishes to expand its own power with military prowess and stand on top of other great powers. That makes the worries for other nations very justified, albeit they initiated wars for their own benefits first too.
I don't see any difference, but thanks for explaining my idea (which already explained in the comic)
Well, the way I see it is that there is nothing innocent about either side.
Just the fact that this Germany wants to expand through military prowess is bad enough to not be innocent.
Then again, this France and this United Kingdom are meddling bastards too.
NO one has their hands completely clean here.
Ah well, what i understand is they already got enough with expanding their territory and went with expanding military power instead.
If that's something wrong, good lord how petty politicians are (as in bigger country needs more security power).
I'm probably comparing today's standard with back then though.
The fact they occupied Dacia and Legadonia as per winner's perks sure doesn't seem like they had enough for territory.
But either way, they'd still want to expand their military power, which no matter the time, is always going to be viewed as a threat by bigger powers.
Yeah, before that.
That part, i know it. As a winner's trophy. Well since they attacked first, it's only right to recover something for their war expense from them, no? Been like that since ancient times until recent time. Not that "recent time" represent the event in comic.
War repatriation is a thing.
And there have also been wars where the victor did not take that much land from the loser. The US after WW2 is a great example. They seemed to take pretty much nothing (in term of lands and such). Yet, their influence is still great over the losers and the eighbouring countries.
And well, because of that ancient practice, it's also common for the other side to use that and say the victor is astrocious.
In other words, an eye for an eye makes the world goes blind. There are other ways around that.
IMO Americans ask for political & or economy supremacy. I think, they thought that it's too much of a hassle to manage another land. They just let natives manage themselves and ask for something in return.
But how much country that took that resolution compared to another? USSR, takeover. What else? Israel, takeover.
It's like this world is just big experimental chess table to see what idea works & which'd be stumped.
I'm guessing if this comic Germany wins, they'd return their lands after 60's
Yes, WW2 Germany is prime example of that. But after WW2, geopolitic seems start to shift to diplomacy as primary power (?)
