Question

Why did many Germans bitterly resent the Treaty of Versailles?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Germans weren’t allowed in negotiating, and under the treaty, they were forced to disarm, surrender land, and pay reparations. Germans felt as if the treaty was forcing them to take the blame for the war. Of course, as you know, this created a lot of resentment and bitterness which has been credited to Hitler’s rise in power.
