You're really blaming Germany for WW1?

Hitler took advantage of their weakness, re-built his army and the rest is very bad history.
Now, please go join the Taliban and have fun bullet dodging.

The whole treaty was designed to not allow Germany to become powerful, can you really blame him for disregarding it?

The Czechs wanted to fight. I read a book a few years ago that mentioned that the Czechs had 30 divisions in the Sudetenland in 1938 and very likely would have held out against a German offensive (which was a bluff in all likelyhood anyways). It also speculated that the USSR would have backed the Czechs, dissuading Poland and Hungary from piling on. But Britain sold out its ally, and a large potion of the armour, artillery, and vehicles used in the invasion of Poland were actually captured from the Czechs.
