The treaty was negotiated between in Paris in 1919 between by the Allies with almost no participation by the Germans. The treaty included fifteen parts and 440 articles. It created the New League of Nations, which Germany was not allowed to join. Part II gave Germany new borders, and returned conquered lands to other nations. Part III stipulated a demilitarized zone. Part IV stripped Germany of all its colonies, and Part V reduced Germany’s armed forces and prohibited Germany from possessing certain classes of weapons. Part VIII covered reparations and made Germany accept responsibility for the losses and damages of the Allies “as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies.” Part IX imposed numerous other financial obligations upon Germany.
The treaty contributed to WWII because it was extremely harsh. The Germans were forced to admit all guilt for WWI, and their country was bankrupt. They were angry and living in extreme poverty. They had nothing, and this led to a chance for someone like Hitler to rise up. The rest of the world viewed Germany with contempt, so they lashed out.

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>C) A financial crisis</u> triggered the French Revolution.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Many factors caused the French revolution but most of them stemmed from poverty and financial crisis. France was divided into three estates which due to some politics and other issues led to social inequalities.

One cause of the revolution was because the two states had privileges like collecting tithe and paying taxes was not a requirement while the third state paid hefty taxes. Therefore, the third state rebelled in retaliation. Another cause was the financial crisis due to countless battles fought.

The battles cost France a lot leading to the economic crisis and brink of bankruptcy. These wars include the war which French formed allies with America in the pursuit of American independence. Other factors include poor harvest and increased bread prices. There had been a volcano eruption which led to bad weathers, poor harvest, poverty, and famines. This exasperated the retail price of staple food and other supplies.
