Question

‘The Treaty of Versailles was unfair on Germany.' How far do you agree with this statement? Explain your answer”

Answer 1

Answer:

It can be viewed in opposite opinions, so I'll do both, and you can choose which one you use- you could use both, which would detail your answer more, and ensure you get top marks.

Explanation:

On one hand, I disagree that the Treaty of Versailles was unfair on Germany. After majorly contributing to the start of World War I, causing mass destruction to numerous countries, they deserved a severe punishment to face their consequences, which included reparations, loss of their territory, and regulations on the size of their army. It was right for them to be punished so harshly, so they could learn not to cross the Allies again.

On the other hand, I agree that the Treaty of Versailles was unfair on Germany. Despite contributing to a war, every country was involved, so it is not right Germany are the ones getting severely punished. The punishments are too harsh and majorly damaged the country's economy, and I feel this is too hard on Germany.

Hope this helps!
