The European allies focused on rebuilding themselves after wars, and believed that they should not have to pay to repair their nations because they did not cause the damage.
After World War one the focus was on the destruction cause by bombings, which required a lot of time, labor, and money for the allied nations to fix. They wanted Germany to cover these costs because Germany did the damage. The allies asked Germany to pay reparations and to change their governing system.
After World War two the focus was on making sure Germany was not able to be an aggressor again. Land was taken away, Germany's advanced scientific and technological industries were limited, and they had to pay reparations to the allies.
The Germans had been very aggressive and brutal with everyone in WW2 so the Allies did not want to take it easy on them.~V~
The European allies were more interested in punishing Germany after World War I primarily due to the immense loss of life and devastation they suffered during the war, which fueled a desire for retribution. The Treaty of Versailles, which imposed heavy reparations and territorial losses on Germany, was seen as a way to ensure that Germany could not become a military threat again. Additionally, the prevailing sentiment in countries like France and Britain was that a strong punitive approach would deter future aggression, overshadowing the need for a stable and lasting peace. This focus on punishment ultimately laid the groundwork for future tensions in Europe.
After World War I, the main conflict between President Woodrow Wilson and the Allies concerned the harshness of the proposed Treaty of Versailles towards Germany. Wilson advocated for a more lenient approach, emphasizing his Fourteen Points, which called for self-determination and a fair peace to prevent future conflicts. In contrast, the Allies, particularly France and Britain, sought to impose severe reparations and territorial losses on Germany to ensure it could not threaten them again. This disagreement highlighted the tension between Wilson's idealism and the Allies' desire for security and retribution.
The Allies had greater miltary strength and size.
It includes less detail on the cultural, and more focus on the reaction of the outsider.

Retribution can be effective if the person is willing to admit a mistake and improve following the retribution. In most cases, rehabilitation is more effective.
To repay for the damages caused and to create lasting peace by ruining Germany to a point that it no longer had the ability to wage a war.
2. In Europe, the U.S. was fighting more than one country and had more Allies that they could rely on.
Germany's Axis allies were not involved at all in the Blitz, the Battle of Britain or operation Sea Lion. All of those were exclusively German affairs.
During the Colonial Period, European nations were interested in discovering new lands and new trade-markets mostly for the sake of economic enrichment. That new goods might improve European lifestyles, that new lands could bring glory, that new lands and peoples could be converted to European religious views -- all of these and more were also involved in the European frenzy for discovery at this time.
The 2 nations build up allies and then the crisis becomes greater as more people are involved in it.
The Allies' propaganda had more influence.
The French army basically defeated the British for the untrained Americas. Spain was more help in the land that bordered Spanish territory. Without European aid, America'd be all about fish and chips and cricket.
