Treaty Of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty that was signed at the Palace Of Versailles in Paris, France. It was also a Treaty to end World War One. This Treaty is what Ended the war between Germany and the Allied Powers. The German were effected greatly by this. This caused many other germans to rebel. The Germans payed billions in war dues because of all the damages and civilian casualties they have caused. The Germans also lost much of their land in the treaty. Germany eventually gave back land to countries like Poland. Germany lost many territories they had overseas as well. I believe that this treaty was not fair because of all the billions of dollars they had to pay back. Many people say that the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Adolf Hitler because the Germans were in a great depression and Hitler being strong smart person he was felt that he had to lead Germany out of this. He gave them the hope they needed and fought back against the Associated powers. He wanted to make Germany Stronger again and he promised that by what the Treaty of Versailles did.

By doing this Britain would lose a lot of money and it was a problem for them so the give them indecencies.
