The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

At the ending of WWI, the Treaty of Versailles was established declaring that the war was over and Germany was to be blamed entirely for the war. Germany had been forced to pay all compensation to the allies and accept full responsibility for the war. All of the nation's overseas colonies were taken away and shared between the allies, including that she also lost ten percent of its land. A bulky 12.5% of the German population was living outside of Germany.

• Initially they refused to sign the treaty and opted to scuttle the fleet in protest.
  
• The economy was ruined as much of the produce and profit had to be sent to the allies as reparations payments. This meant that the German economy was unable to recover itself.
• The disarmament of the armed forces was viewed as an embarrassment and the Germans felt very insecure about their inability to defend themselves: it also meant a loss of status as military power means that a nation has political clout
• The German people felt bitter that they were excluded from the league of nations and enforced to live by other peoples rules.

Including in the Treaty, Germany's army was limited to 100,000 men, forbidden to build large ships, and was forced to borrow a large amount of money from America in order to pay its war debt, since its economy was going through a depression from the war. The Treaty of Versailles made many Germans feel humilated and felt the need to get revenge, which is were Aodl Hitler comes into the picture.

Hitler stated that Germany lost the war because of "a stab in the back." He blamed outsiders for causing problems in the nation. He believed that Germany had a weak government and he attempted to overthrow Germany's government but did not succeed. Instead, he got arrested and spend nine months in jail. Hitler also believed that most of Germany's problems were because of the Jews. In 1933, Hitler and his Nazi Party controlled Germany and outlawed all other political parties. Most people who opposed them were often murdered. The rise of Hitler, began with his publiing speakings, the development of the Nazi party, to focusing on and training teenagers to follow his beliefs because there generation will be later on the future.

I believe that the Treaty of Versailles was fair. Germany took its superiority to a point were they thought they were the best and are able to outstand other countries. The nation was ull of itself. If you think you're so powerful and can take down everyone else, then think again because there's always going to be someone willing to bring you down too.
