Question

Was the Treaty of Versailles a just and fair peace treaty or an unjust and unfair one, and why?

Answer 1

Answer:

This depends on your view point. Apparently the Allies believed that the treaty was fair and just, but Germany did not. Personally, I think that the Treaty of Versailles was too extreme. Of course Germany had to be punished for war crimes and preventative measures had to be put in place so Germany couldn't try that again, but at the same time, if the treaty was less harsh it wouldn't have angered Germans to the point of electing the Nazi party. The German economy was already crashing and the decisions that were made in the treaty only worsened the entire establishment.
