The most accurate response is:
**They learned from their mistakes in the Treaty of Versailles.**
After World War I, the Treaty of Versailles imposed severe penalties and reparations on Germany, which many historians believe contributed to economic hardship and political instability in the country, ultimately leading to the rise of Adolf Hitler and World War II. The Allies wanted to avoid a repeat of these consequences and aimed to ensure a more stable and controlled post-war environment in Germany.
