Western and northern europe did not have to fight invasions from asia every so often. Also, the geopolitical aftermath of WW1 and the Russian revolution severely crippled east europe. The borders shifted a lot in the balkans. Hungary was crippled, Serbia sees this as an opportunity, Croatia just regained independence after 800 years, Albania would become an easy target for Mussolini, the Turks were no longer a threat to anyone, so Hitler and Mussobro would get to do whatever they want. At the same time millions are dying in the same Russia that was just a few years back considered the breadbasket of the whole World. Who is to be faulted for this crisis and complete collapse of east Europe? The same people who organized WW1, who sold the guns and equipment to all sides of WW1 and who orchestrated the later great depression. Of course, our low average IQ contributed to this also.
