those same historians have largely come to the conclusion that wilson etc caused world war 2, and have slowly begun to exonerate the nazis. revisionism in action.

I don't know that that's entirely fair. Tuchman was one who pointed out that "armistice" doesn't mean "peace" and that a country that has not been invaded is a country that doesn't feel beaten. Margaret McMillan certainly extended no love to the Nazis, going as far arguing that Germany's economic collapse had fuckall to do with reparations.
