Question

What were the causes and effects of the treaty of versailles

Answer 1

Causes of Treaty of Versailles:

• The demand for reparations from Germany had to be given a written form.

• Germany's will to take a revenge had to be constrained and it had to be restricted from having a functional armed force.

• Germany had to be kept under the dominance of the League of nations so that it does not dare to undertake more expansionary activities.  

Effects of Treaty of Versailles:

• Germany was humiliated and was made to believe that it was solely responsible for the war to begin which Germany denied.

• Germany felt that it was being a forced victim of the treaty as it was not able to defend itself against the leaders of the allied forces.

• Germany suffered an economic collapse after paying the allied forces according to the treaty.
