How Did Germany's Response To Those Of The Treaty Have Made?

Almost all nations desired to completely destroy Germany and make them work almost like slaves (Doc 3). The other nations act as if they had no part or fault in the war when in reality they were part of it just as much as Germany. Great Britain, France, and Italy all wanted revenge and saw this as their opportunity to get it. The treaty caused restrictions to their military and also made Germany lose their territory and colonies. The fault was entirely placed on their shoulders and the weight only became greater with the treaty. Germany was also not the one to start the war but yet were accused of it

As Document C states, “...Germany undertakes, that she will make compensation for all damage done to the civilian population of the Allied and Associated Powers and to their property during the period of Belligerency…”(Doc C). Since Germany was responsible for starting the war, they should be responsible for paying for the damage. But these reparations only angered and humiliated the Germans because it caused a huge economic downfall since these payments were over $300 billion. But in the chart shown in Document C, it states that, in 1933, “Hitler comes to power” and ends “all reparations payments”. Ending these payments made Germans come to like Hitler, giving him more power than before.

Germany was not permitted to attend the treaty. Had they been able to go to the treaty, it could have help resolve issues between the other countries and Germany. Although Germany may have caused great damage during the first war, they should have been treated in a way that caused the other three countries to look upon them as the aggrieved party. Document D sates “Allies saw the treaty of Versailles as an international contract.” It then stated that Germany saw it as a “ atrocious injustice” and that “it must be destroyed.” It is apparent that Germany was resented by the other countries. Document B showed how much land Germany lost due to the financial strain, but Germany should not have been held fully for their actions in the war. The Germans did not fight alone, and as tough as WWI was, the opposing countries should have taken responsibility for the damage they had done too. Together, they would need money for the damages that the war brought. With Germany being the issue from the point of view of the opposing countries, not allowing them to go to the Versailles treaty would only cause greater

In 1914, Germany and Austria-Hungary allied against France, Britain, USA and Italy in World War 1. The war resulted in resentment towards the Germans. Woodrow Wilson, president of the United States, established a treaty that would bring everlasting peace. For the Germans however, the treaty served as a punishment, as they were required to accept the responsibility for causing all of the damage. Germany was angered by the treaty as they would have to pay for reparations and take responsibility for everything. Territorial losses, militarism, economic reparations and blame were all causes of World War II.

At the end of world war I, the European countries got together to decide what Germany's punishments should be after losing the war. The terms that they came up with were nearly impossible for Germany to meet, these terms included Germany to pay in gold, in land, in resources, and to reduce military strength. Also they had to take full responsibility for causing world war I.

There can never be an excuse for Nazi atrocities. World War I resulted in the death of 17 million people. The victorious Allies met at Versailles in 1919 to establish the terms of peace. The hope was that the treaty would make World War I the “war to end all wars.” The Treaty of Versailles punished Germany too harshly in four key ways: Loss of land, military reduction, reparations, and war guilt.

“Germany undertakes, that she will make compensation for all the damage done to the civilian population”(Doc C). Germany had to pay millions and billions of dollars for the damage they had caused. This can cause lots of conflict and hatred in other countries. The Treaty of Versailles caused Germany to lose lots of money, creating conflict, which they didn't like. How Germany overall felt about the Treaty of Versailles, of course, the Germans were very mad about the Treaty because of all the things it cost them.

World War I ended with the Treaty of Versailles, a treaty that was largely negotiated by the Allied Powers - primarily Britain, France, and Russia - and whose purpose seemed to be the punishment of Germany, who had been part of the Central Powers. Germany was widely blamed for causing so much destruction measured both in lives and monetary value during the war, and once they lost, the victors imposed harsh sanctions and restrictions on German trade and military. Germany was unfairly used as a scapegoat at the end of the war, and did not deserve the restrictions and blame put on them. Such restrictions were morally and ethically unfair, and left Germany no room to rebuild their economy after a war that left them in shambles. During his

Even though it wasn’t their fault that the war started, the Big Four countries made them sign something that claimed it was their fault and they admitted it. In Document C, it says that Germany was forced to undertake the responsibility for all the damage that was done to the Allies. This made Germany very mad because they also had loses and they didn’t start the war in the first place. In Document D, it states that Germany had to take full blame and accept the consequences, also, that Germans saw the Treaty of Versailles as an evil thing and that it needed to be destroyed, this starting the Nazi party and for Hitler to rise in his power for all the countries to look at Germany as something else, more powerful, and for the countries to fear

Germany was blamed as the cause of the war and had most of her privileges revoked in terms of military force. The treaty was supposed to prevent another outbreak of war and resolve any other conflicts in Europe at the time. Woodrow Wilson was originally against this plan, believing Germany should only gain a smaller consequence and keeping the idea of “open arms” (similar to Lincoln’s plan vs the Presidential plan) but later agreed as the rest of Europe believed it was Germany who deserved to be heavily penalized. This agreement allowed for a short period of peace, until Germany declared that it was unfair for her and her subjects to have to abide by such specific

They wanted retribution. Germany was to admit guilt and were liable to pay any financial reparations to the Allies. Thus, all nations including Germany, signed the Treaty of Versailles. Life after the

The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty signed by the winners of WWI meant to punish the aggressors of the war. The treaty opened the door for WWII to develop into an international total war. The Treaty of Versailles made WWII inevitable due to the absurd amount of repercussions Germany had to deal with, the failure of the league of nations, and the expansion of Japan.

In our opinion, we disagree with an actions of the Allies in Treaty of Versailles. We don’t think the Treaty of Versailles was fair to Germany. Because Germany was not invited to create the treaty, they were just forced to sign it. Moreover, the treaty will also set agreements on Germany such as limit military troops and weapons, pay reparations a lot and transfer territories to the other countries. Even though we do not agree with the treaty but we support some aspect like Germany had to limit their military troops and weapons. We think this provision is the most fair for Germany because they not able to have another war again. However, most of the provisions of the treaty was unfair to Germany. In conclusion, the Treaty of Versailles was

The Treaty of Versailles was a very unfair document towards Germany. According to Mike Dowling, the treaty had taken away Germany's overseas colonies and their coal source. Germany could not build large ships and their army was a joke.

The treaty humiliated the Germans. The war-guilt clause forced Germany to accept sole responsibility for World War I. And although the German military had played a major role in igniting the war, other countries in Europe had been guilty of provoking political crises before the war too.
