Reply to comment by -Mothman_ in Treaty of Versailles being ‘too harsh’ by -Mothman_
The successor states of the Austrian-Hungarian empire joined the Axis, why are you acting like they were peachy with the terms?

Austria was annexed by Germany in 1938. Meanwhile Hungary too needed to rely on fascist Germany and Italy for trade after it too was hit hard by the depression, true it also joined the axis also due to the peace treaties but other nations such as Turkey did not join the axis also after having its empire dismantled.

Why would they harbor resentment to treaties that gave them independence? Specifically, since you seem so confident, what in these treaties did they take issue with? What consequences did they suffer due to these treaties that made them hold a grudge for decades until joining the axis was deemed the natural thing to do?

You should probably look at how much of Hungary was carved off.

Austria-Hungary was a double monarchy and Hungary enjoyed a certain degree of autonomy. I'm thinking of the states that truly gained independence.
