The Treaty Of Versailles (Ended WWI)

Explain how the Treaty of Versailles affected Germany at the end of WW I. What were some of the rules of the treaty. Do you think the treaty was fair? Why?Some historians say that the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph Hitler. Why do you think historians say this?



During WWI there was a lot of grievance and devastation to other countries and especially to Germanny. Approxiamately 10,000,00 soldiers and troops around the world had passed away according to WWI. The Allies had wanted a scapegoat so they made germany pay for the damage and cost of all destruction that was done due to the war. So they passed a treaty which stated that germany was held responsible and accountable to fix damages of WWI. Take full responsibility for the war and damages, pay for the damages to city's and casualties in Populations, surrender most of there colonies,thereby creating Poland, limited military Air units,Tanks and Submarines,Prohibition of Poison Gas and Weapons,and Limited solders up to 100,000 Troops.This treaty was the Treaty Of Versailles. The treaty stated that Germany ws fully responsible in starting the war. But it really wasn't all fully only Germany's fault it was all the countries that had fought during WWI were definitely responsible as well.Some people say that Germany was not responsible for WWI. After all, it started when a Serbian shot an Austrian. Some Germans had also believed that Germany had been made a scapegoat, forcing it to take the blame for the entire war.The treaty also said that Germany would have to pay for all of the damage done to other countries. Germany’s size was reduced by 12.5%, resulting in a decrease in its population of 6,500,000. When the other countries took possession of German land, the people in it did not move. This made them "belong" to the countries that took over that land.
I also think the Treaty and facism brought up Hitler because Germany wanted to stay strong despite defeat and they needed a strong dictator to help the rise with the fallen.Adolf Hitler, a German, also Outrage with the Treaty. So he went against the rules.Like,Invading Rhineland, and Czechoslovakia. The Germans Joined in to fight for their colonies and Dignity Back. But they crossed the line when they invaded Poland. When that happened, it had marked the start of WWII.
