The conditions of the Treaty were particularly detrimental to Germany because it lost territory and vital industrial and agricultural revenue. Embarrassment and rage were felt as a result of Article 231, the War Guilt Clause, which assigned responsibility for beginning the war to Germany and her allies.
Explanation:
Germany detested the Treaty's military provisions (army of 100,000, only 6 battleships, no submarines or aeroplanes). Germans claimed that it rendered them helpless in the face of even the smallest new nation-states. Because the Weimar republic was fragile and there were numerous uprisings, the demilitarization of the Rhineland was despised.
Proponents of cultural racism therefore argue that attempts at integrating different ethnic and cultural groups itself leads to prejudice and discrimination.
