IAmA European Engineer who moved to Africa to repair bridges. I've survived malaria, basically dodged an 18-wheeler truck falling from a bridge 15 m high, faced a spitting snake, and have frequent water issues. Recently I needed trash bags and learnt I can only buy them 90 km away. AMAA.

Why did the Western powers (namely the USA) in the 1950s insist that Germany had to be allowed to rearm itself? (I'm thinking in particular of the Stalin note)
