The Treaty Of Versailles (ended WWI)

After WWI the winner was the Allies so then the loosing side had to agree to a treaty. The treaty was signed in the Palace of Versailles so it was known as the treaty of Versailles. Due to the treaty Germany became responsible for causing the war and had to compensate for the damage. Germany was in trouble and went through many hardships due to a smaller army, no overseas colonies and the economy was bad. The German people also felt insecure due to a small army and having the risk of not being able to protect themselves in the case of an attack. I think the treaty was very harsh on the Germans since they had to pay for the damage in their country and had to pay for the damage in other countries. This also caused Germany to be in a large dept which had a impact on their economy. The Germans needed someone to lead them to greatness again. This then allowed Adolf Hitler to reign and bring Germany to greatness. I think historians say that the treaty caused the rise of Hitler and Fascism because the people were desperate for a leader to make Germany superior again. This then allowed for all the events that happened after WWII, the rise of the Nazis, Concentration Camps, etc.
