Question

German seems guilty for the outbreak of the Second World War.Were the countries which imposed the most humilating Treaty of Versailles not responsible for that?Justify your answer.​

Answer 1

Answer: The Treaty of Versailles was one of the factors that led to the war.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Versailles ended the First World War, and Germany was forced to sign unfavorable terms of peace imposed by the victorious countries. Many historians share the opinion that it is not only Germany that is to blame for the outbreak of the First World War. Uneven colonization among European powers is one of the main factors. The outbreak of war itself was greeted with joy on all sides of Europe, and no government has considered using diplomatic tools to prevent conflict. Therefore, it is certain that Germany was not the only culprit for World War II.

With this treaty, Germany had to pay huge war reparations and give up its colonies. The United States government itself stressed that a fairer agreement should be reached in Versailles. In such circumstances, in the decades after the war, nationalism and hatred towards the great European powers grew stronger in Germany. Hitler used this situation to come to power. After all, Germany is the biggest culprit for the start of the Second World War, but at the roots lie the unfavorable conditions of peace in Versailles imposed by France and a good part of Great Britain.
