This is untrue. The story should read differently. Germany should not invade other countries. Most other states can. There are so many examples as to boggle the mind.

This is playing the victime a bit. The "everybody-can-do-it-so-why-can't-we" would be fair if it was a tabula rasa situation. But Germany had displayed an agressive foreign policy for quite some time. You know that you'll get special attention in the end and you can't go on too long. I rather stick to the theory that Germany overplayed it's hand on this occasion and it cost her dearly.
