Answer:

While the U.S carried the flag of democracy, Germany saw the imposed democracy as humiliation and backfired taking a dictatorial stand.

Step-by-step explanation:

The entrance of the United States into foreign affairs during the war played a major role in preserving the democratic order. President Woodrow Wilson described the intervention of the United States as a way of helping Europe's free peoples, and preserving democracy in Europe. Although it was a period when America further championed the ideals of peace and tranquility, but they were perceived humiliation by the German people. the enormous reparations imposed on Germany after the war. Rather of forging a permanent peace, the post-war pacts had the opposite effect which can be seen in the case of German aggression.
