Question

Why did Germany sign The treaty of Versailles? 20 points​

Answer 1

Answer:

The German Government had agreed to sign the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919 to make peace. This action was very unpopular in Germany. Enemies of the government used the treaty to claim that it had 'stabbed Germany in the back' by ending the war

Reactions to the Treaty in Germany were very negative. There were protests in the German Reichstag (Parliament) and out on the streets. ... There were also the humiliating terms, which made Germany accept blame for the war, limit their armed forces and pay reparations

The Allied Powers refused to recognize the new Bolshevik Government and thus did not invite its representatives to the Peace Conference. The Allies also excluded the defeated Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Turkey, and Bulgaria). ... Germans grew to resent the harsh conditions imposed by the Treaty of Versailles

War guilt the most hated because it meant greatest humiliation for something the Germans didn't feel responsible for. Also Allies used war guilt clause to justify reparations which had big effect on German economy and affected people's lives

The Versailles Treaty forced Germany to give up territory to Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland, return Alsace and Lorraine to France and cede all of its overseas colonies in China, Pacific and Africa to the Allied nations
