The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty that was signed at the Palace Of Versailles in Paris, France. This was a Treaty to end World War One. It Ended the war between Germany and the Allied Powers . This treaty hit the Germans hard. It made their emperor a war criminal and a few other germans aswell. The Germans had to pay billions of dollars as war dues because of all the destruction and deaths they have caused. The Germans also lost alot of land in the treaty. They gave back lands like West Prussia back to poland. Also they lost territories they had overseas. I dont think the treaty was fair because of all the billions of dollars they had to pay back.

I Think historians say the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise and power of hitler because the Germans were in a slump/depression and Hitler was a strong smart person who was a military leader. He gave them the hope and fought back against the Associated powers. He wanted to make Germany Stronger again and he promised to that that because of what the Treaty of Versailles did.
