Just Like the Arabian Nights 1922-1925

In effort to keep peace, treaties were proposed to keep the vanquished aggressors of World War 1 under-armed. This might have successfully kept peace, if it was only given a chance. The ratio of military power was drastically in favor of the US and Great Britain and they began to increase their military holdings, but it was at the expense of a humiliated Germany.
The peacemakers have gone home. America has rejected its president's peace settlement and withdrawn into its previous isolationist position. Europe wrestles with its debt, inflation destabilizes Germany. The first of the dictators - Benito Mussolini in Italy - rises to power and, in Soviet Russia, Lenin dies to be succeeded by Josef Stalin.
This episode focuses on the period from 1922 to 1925, when the entire northern hemisphere seems to be in chaos. Syria is rising up against France, which has occupied part of Germany, which is racked by political murders and hyperinflation that at one point sees the value of the German mark fall from 630,000 to the US dollar to 630 billion to the dollar in just three months.
