Spice trade was the trade of several types of spices between civilizations located in Asia, North East Africa, and Europe. The types of spices that were traded were cinnamon, cassia, ginger, and pepper.

Trade routes were established from far east Asia to Europe and the trail was long. However, these goods became scarce due to appearance fo the Turkish Ottoman Empire in 1299. Turkish territory was part of the main spice trade route. However, the Ottomans started putting restrictions in trade, immediately affecting the supply of spices in Europe, making the prices rise in the 1300s.

Answer:

the treaty placed a LOT of blame on Germany.

Explanation:

this made them very angry, and because of the unfairness of it, other countries felt a bit guilty. this let Germany get away with things that normally would NOT be allowed. it established a policy of tolerance. This allowed Germany to gain a LOT of power by doing what they wanted, and by this time, it was difficult to stop them without rocking the boat and creating a second world war.
