Question

The treaty of Versailles forced Germany to?

Answer 1

The treaty of Versailles forced Germany to accept responsibility for the World War I (1914-18).

Germany agreed to sign the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, because it had no other option at the moment, but it demanded terms that outlined severe economic consequences for them.

The treaty forced Germany to accept responsibility for the war, meaning that Germany admitted having been the aggressor one and consequently, it was demanded to pay for the losses and damage caused to the victorious Allies.

Along with these terms, Germany also had to cede the territories they had obtained during the war, which reduced its population and territory by about 10 percent; his army had to be restricted to 100,000 men, and had to eliminate the general staff, the manufacture of armored cars, tanks, submarines, airplanes, and poison gas was, etc. All of this to prevent that they never again pose a military threat to the rest of Europe.

Answer 2

The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I and forced Germany to accept blame for the war, pay reparations to Allied powers who had fought against German forces, and disarm. Many of the demands made of Germany by Allied powers were criticized by vocal opponents such as Adolph Hitler who campaigned hard (and at times violently) against the Treaty, arguing instead for Germany to remain strong in the face of demands.
