The Treaty Of Versailles, and the affect on the German.

( Signing in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles ){wikipedia}
Basically the Treaty of Versailles was a pact or an agreement between most of Europe( in this case the Allied Powers ), against Germany! The agreement stated that Germany had to pay the cost of damages, according to the pact( treaty )it was Germany's fault. This treaty took place on 28 June 1919, at the end of World War I. This was the official end of WWI! The Versailles treaty placed a lot of restrictions on Germany and put them in an unstable financial state( economically screwed ). They also could only have 100 000 soldiers, and other military restrictions. It also made them responsible for all damage in WW1 so in turn they had to repay all the damage. So after all of this they were really humiliated. Personally i do not agree with the treaty because i also think that this is what gave Adolph Hitler so much power, And i say so because Germany seek ed help, a type of savior so they got Hitler after he was rejected and denied. But when he became fuhrer he created jobs and rebuild Germany's social, and financial structure: all by ignoring the treaty completely!
