Question

6. What was the main intent of the Treaty of Versailles?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Allies wanted to ensure that Germany would never again pose a  threat to other countries in Europe.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Versailles was drawn up after World War I, whereby the nation of Germany was made to pay remunerations to those nations affected by the war. This peace treaty was done between Germany and the Allied nations mainly consisting of the UK, France, Italy, and the United States.

The meeting that was convened at Versailles was attended by nearly 30 nations. But the provisions of the treaty were mainly drawn by the four nations or the Allied nations. This was done to punish Germany for initiating the war and also hold the nation accountable. But overall, the main reason was to strip Germany so much so that it would not pose any threat to other European countries again in the future. Though Germany wasn't involved in the decision-making, it had no choice but to accept the terms of the treaty. Thus, the Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919.
