Well, having your enemies in your country is bad. It makes everything tense. The whole cold war can be described as tense. Nuclear weapons, alliances, and occupation. This all causes tense feelings among everyone. Germany was occupied by a world power. Germany was considered a “great” world power, they occupied many different countries during ww2 and to see them lose and be occupied by britain is very stressful to other countries because they think that if such a big country with a great military position can be basically taken over, they can too.
