The worst punishment for Germany was getting blamed for the whole entire war. The treaty of Versailles stated that Germany would take full responsibility for the war. Not only did they take the responsibility, they also had to pay the price of the war for other countries. This led Germany to become weak and unstable, but then came a man who said that he could end all of Germany’s problems but started another world war.
The Rhineland had to be demilitarized, and worst of all, Germany was required to pay a $40 billion reparations bill to the Allies for starting the war. This bill wrecked the German economy in the 1920's and led to the economic and political conditions that created Adolf Hitler.
