WW2 was a terrible disaster, that killed more than 60 million people . The first sight of a Nuclear bomb was WW2 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Hitler was an extreme right wing leader who wanted to extinguish Germany's Jewish population. He organised a system to mass murder 6 million people.
The Treaty of Versailles was a cause of WW2. WW2 was caused by many different things, such as the ideologies of fascism and communism. The league of nations was a mass of politicians brought together to make a set of rules for peace, but the negligence of the league being biased towards the countries drew Germany and Japan to withdraw from the league. Combined, these

Their army was to be limited. German land was taken and given to other countries. The treaty set unreasonable reparations for Germany to pay back (33 billion ) in todays money. They left the league, paying very little of the reparations. Little did the allies know, he had plans. The obvious disregard Hitler had towards the conditions of the Treaty caused him to increase his armaments. The treaty caused insecurity upon Germany taking their defenses. This helped cause WW2 because people were fed up and afraid.
Glorified fascism communism american and japanese ideologies
Italy and Germany became fascist societies, claiming they were more important which quickly separated countries from each other. Nationalism increased and became regular. Hitler was a fascist and made all the rules for his country. For those who were opposed, were mistreated. Before Hitler, the church's impact was large, after his influence, even the church took his side.
Fascism
Communist ideology is the theory that workers should work together and gather the profits for themselves rather than the Boss/CEO (of today). Being mistreated under the boot of a dictatorship forces someone to change beliefs. Communism was not the same as fascism, they were at war with each other ideologically.

The Treaty of Versailles unfairly forced Germany to decimate their own army and the treaty took away some of Germany’s land. Document B states, “Germany must not exceed one hundred thousand men, including officers…” Because of this Germany was left outnumbered and suffered a maddening loss of power. Germany also lost their treasured Baltic sea port, which they relied on for different resources (Doc A). More importantly, the German citizens in that area were forced to either relocate or adjust to their new culture. Due to these forced injustices Germany started WWII.
This limited their army to 100,000 voluntary soldiers and they had to melt down their armaments and where not allowed to have any submarines. This had the effect of making the Germans feel weak and humiliated and thirsty for revenge. This was one of the biggest reasons the Germans were annoyed and angered at the treaty of Versailles. Germany also had to pay 6.6 Billion in reparation to the winning countries; this affected their economy and was more money than the Germans were able to give. This eventually led to hyperinflation, but this is irrelevant to the topic at hand. This could possibly have been the point that angered the Germans the most, it made them pay for the debts of the war even though they did not start it on their own.
The territories that were lost were Polish Corridor, Lorraine Alsace, land below Denmark and land above East Prussia. The Treaty of Versailles helped cause World War II because Germany had lost a mass of territory. This was important because without the territory it would leave them unprotected. In Document A, it states Germany was going to have a fight with Adolf Hitler. Hitler suggested Germany should respond to the Versailles Treaty with violence.
World war two was a very deadly and gory war, one of America’s most deadly in fact. Around 80 million soldiers, civilians, and Jewish people were killed. The Versailles treaty produced German anger and humiliation sowing the seeds for world war two. Adolf Hitler was an evil man and many of the non-believers in Hitler, commanded malediction on him. Billions of soldiers died, thousands of families were affected. Versailles Treaty did nothing more than throw countries onto a trapdoor of chaos, battle, unsolved arguments.
World War I is a war that took the lives of more than 10 million soldiers and over 7 million civilians, and wounded 10 million more. It was a conflict between the Axis powers, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and Turkey, and the Allies, France, England, Russia, and Italy. After the war ended the leaders met at the Versailles Palace just outside of Paris for a treaty to settle future disputes and avoid war. The treaty was finally signed on June 28, 1919 and because Germany was responsible for war damageous and costs, they were angry and humiliated. The Treaty of Versailles lead to World War II through territorial losses, military restrictions, economic war reparations, and war guilt.
There were many different interpretations and perspectives of the origins of World War II. Some underlying factors consisted of the failure of the peace without victory speech made by Woodrow Wilson, the Treaty of Versailles where negotiations were made by George Clemenceau, Woodrow Wilson and David Lloyd George, the League of Nations which was founded after the Paris Peace conference and the big four. Due to these factors Germany dealt with major impacts, limitations and economic consequences. The treaty of Versailles and peace-making decisions paved the way to WWII by leaving Germany isolated and betrayed. After World War I, the treaty of Versailles and League of Nations were made as an attempt to create peace which failed.
There were other reasons that the Versailles treaty upset Germany and therefore contributes to World War II. For example, the territorial losses, the economic losses and the war guilt helped cause World War II. However the main underlying cause of the War was the War Guilt. In this the Germans felt humiliated and angry. Adolf Hitler was able to use this anger to to build German pride and strengthen the military. This evidently led to the formation of the Nazi party. The Germans were suffering from the losses the Treaty of Versailles and as a result Adolf Hitler took power which later he would help cause World War
World War II was undoubtedly one of the most important parts of not only U.S. history, but world history as well. But do you know what contributed to the start of the war? The Treaty of Versailles was created to stop World War I, and any other future wars that could occur. So how did the Treaty of Versailles contribute to the start of World war II? The Treaty took away much of Germany’s land, gridlocked the German military, forced war reparations on the German government, and ordered them to accept responsibility for causing the war.
“The Allies continued in the years after 1919 to regard the Versailles Treaty as an international contract… but most germans saw it as an atrocitus injustice, an evil thing which must be destroyed.” (Document D). After World War One ended in 1918, the allies found a way to punish Germany, and that was through the Versailles Treaty. The germans did not like this treaty and saw it as an act of war. These and many more events eventually led to World War Two. So, how did the Versailles Treaty help cause World War Two? The Versailles Treaty helped cause World War 2 because of territorial loss, shrinking of military, and paying of war reparations.
How Did the Versailles Treaty Help Cause World War II? The Great War, or World War I, was a war that took the lives of 10 million soldiers, seven million civilians, and wounded more than 10 million men, finally came to an end on November 11, 1918. After the war, a conference was held at the Versailles Palace, just outside of Paris, to hammer out a treaty. The Prime Minister, Georges Clemenceau, of France, David Lloyd George of England, and the president, Woodrow Wilson, of the United States, were the victorious allied nations that came together and created the Versailles Treaty, where Germany was given no voice and Russia was not represented because they were pulled out of the war in 1917.
World War 2 was something devastating that has happened and the Versailles Treaty may have been a reason that it even started. The main reasons the treaty caused this are: the treaty made Germany lose land as part of a consequence, they found it unfair since they were blamed for WW1, they had to pay for all damages caused during war, and it caused them to have a limited military.
One of the reasons that caused World War 2 was the treaty of Versailles because President Woodrow Wilson, Georges Clemenceau and Lloyd Georges wanted a peace treaty for all different reasons (history on the net, 18/09/15) Woodrow wanted the peace treaty based on his 14-point plan based, this basically means he wanted long lasting peace and he did a speak called the 14- points explaining 14 reasons why he wanted long lasting peace, which he believed would bring peace to Europe. (History
World War II was partly caused by the Versailles Treaty. The Treaty infuriated Germany by taking their money, land and resources, and blaming them for World War l. All of this made Germany want to rise to power and start another World War. One of the reasons Germany was so mad about the Treaty of Versailles is it blamed Germany for the war. The Treaty stated, “...Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all loss and damage.” (Doc D) Germany did not agree that they were responsible for all the damage of the war; they thought this was extremely unfair.
One of the major events that led to the outbreak of World War II was the treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles was one of the peace treaties that ended of World War I. It ended the war between Germany and the Allied Powers. The Germans were very much upset because their land was taken away from them. Basically, the treaty forced the Germans to take the blame for World War I. The Germans had no say so in regards to the treaty and had to compensate the other states for their damages. Treaty of Versailles crippled Germany economically and militarily, the intention was to prevent Germany from becoming strong enough to be a threat to its neighbors for the expected future. Hitler wanted to get Germany land that was lost, so it triggered
Another cause of WWII included the failure of the Treaty of Versailles; it was caused by a lack of cooperation between the allied powers, a weak enforcement mechanism, and the fact that it was designed to prevent another large war.
