    The Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I, imposed harsh terms on Germany including loss of territory, high reparations, and a guilt clause. It was seen as too punitive by Germans as it did not allow them at the negotiation table and required acceptance of sole responsibility for the war. Over time, Germany under Hitler began ignoring parts of the treaty by remilitarizing the Rhineland and developing its army, setting the stage for World War II.

    Treaty of Versailles

    Treaty of Versailles Quotes:


    - It was the acknowledgement of defeat as the treaty terms themselves, which they found so
    hard to accept
    - It is my judgement, as certain as anything can be that Germany cannot pay anything
    approaching this sum
    - The Treaty of Versailles is engraved in the hearts and minds of the German people
    Problems:
    - Too harsh
    - Germany lost 13% of land area
    - Reparations far too much
    - Article 231 (Guilt Clause) meant Germany had to accept complete responsibility for the War
    even though this was not true (see quote number 1)
    - Germany was not allowed at the table at the Paris conference where the terms of the treaty
    were created
    Hitler:
    - 1935 ignore treaty and developed army
    - 1936 ignore treaty through Rhineland
