The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles affected Germany at the end of WW I because germany was blamed for all the destruction done during the war, and they took the blame for the war. When Germany took the blame for all that happened in the war, germany got all these rules and provisions from the treaty of versailles. Some of the rules of the treaty were that germany had to pay for all the damage that they caused to the other countriesand reconstruct them. Germany also lost most of their lands and colonies. No I dont think the treaty was because they blamed it all on germany so since germany took the blame, the other countries took advantage and piled all the expensences on germany and the war guilt on germany.The Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph Hitler because the treaty wasnt enough to prevent germany from becoming the dominant continental power again. The treaty helped the rise of the nazi party, because of the unfairness of the treaty. The historians thought this beacause of the unfairness to germany in the treaty instead of working out an agreement.
