Answer:

<u>The main reason was the dispute over the lands of the Native tribes. </u>

Explanation:

The governments of several states of the United States felt that the presence of the tribes was a threat to peace and security, because many Native Americans had fought against the United States in previous wars, often armed by foreign nations such as Great Britain and Spain. Other white settlers and land speculators simply wanted the land that was being occupied by the tribes. Therefore, these governments wanted all tribal lands within their borders to be placed under state jurisdiction.

The treaty of Versailles was an unfair one. The "war guilt" clause forced Germany and her allies to take all the blame for the world war. Moreover, Germany lost it's land, overseas colonies, population, and coal and iron industry. Germany was also made to pay reparations and limit their armed forces.

The treaty of Versailles was an invitation to deadlier wars in the future. In fact, it can be concluded that the treaty was a controversy in itself. Because Germany was subjected to ill treatment and was made to pay reparations beyond the country's capacity post war, it became the mojor cause for the WW II.
