Answer:
Let me explain.
Explanation:
After WWI officially ended in 1918, leaders of European countries met in the Paris to discuss the terms of Germany’s surrender, and to put an end to the fighting across Europe which killed millions of European and American soldiers.
In short summary, Germany had to come to terms with the following in this treaty:
-Germany has to surrender all its overseas colonies and territories across the world to the League of Nations (Founded by U.S. President Woodrow Wilson to maintain world peace after the fallout of WWI)
-Germany had to demilitarize its armies
-Germany had to demilitarize the Rhineland (an area in Northwestern France, near modern day Belgium)
-Germany had to pay a large amount of reparations to all the allied powers (money that Germany did not even have; they were broke!)
-Germany also was not allowed to have an air force anymore
Germany reluctantly signed this treaty, which left the country in economic depression, poverty, and chaos. Many native Germans (along with the German government) were very upset about the signing of the treaty. As a result, it is the anger, chaos, violence, and economic despair that led one man, by the name of Adolf Hitler to rise from Germany’s ashes and to become the one of the most hated men in the world. He founded the Nazi socialist workers party and promised Germany he would reform it into a great empire and fix all of Germany’s problems. Since the people were already desperate to escape the suffering and chaos that engulfed their country due to the signing of this treaty, it led many of them to support Hitler’s cause because they believed only he could help make Germany great again. That is why it’s said that the Treaty of Versailles was “failed” and “doomed from the start”.
I hope this answers your question.
