Th Treaty of Versailles (ended WWI)




The treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty made at the end of WWI. Made to end the war between Germany and the Allied powers. This treaty made by the Allied Powers, blamed all the wreck on the Germans. They had to pay for everything. The treaty was signed after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. 10% of Germany's land was lost, all of Germany's oversea colonies were taken away. I think these rules were unfair. It made Germany's economy become poor. The treaty led to the rise of Hitler because he came across to the people of Germany as a savior. He told everyone he could take them out of the depression and make things better. Which allowed him to gain the trust of the Germans. And he made Germany into a Fascist country, in which he was the dictator.
