Treaty Of Versailles Faults

The Treaty of Versailles was punishment for Germany, she was the focal point. There were many faults found in The Treaty Of Versailles that didn’t allow justice to Germany, it allowed the reason to point a finger at them even though they weren’t the only ones to blame. The Treaty of Versailles was a document that was directed toward the state of the international community in response to the war.

The Treaty of Versailles had many faults that were prominent to leading to World War I. When negotiating the treaty between January and June 1919 in Paris, Germans had almost no part of it, they weren’t allowed a voice. The treaty included 15 parts and 440 articles, which were put so that Germany can ever recuperate from the war. Part II specified Germany’s new boundaries, giving territories away to other countries Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium, Alsace-Lorraine back to France, eastern districts to

Poland, Memel to Lithuania, and large portions of Schleswig to Denmark. Part III agreed a demilitarized zone and to take away the Saar from Germany for fifteen years. Part IV stripped Germany of all its colonies diminishing their empire, and Part V reduced Germany’s armed forces to very low levels and prohibited Germany from possessing certain classes of weapons, while committing the Allies to disarmament as well. Part VIII established Germany’s chance for reparations without stating a specific figure and began with Article 231, in which Germany took the responsibility of itself and its allies for the losses and damages “as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies.” Part IX took upon itself to address numerous of financial matters for Germany.
The League of Nations, a group of delegates from different countries formed to address issues on an international skill, prevented Germany and Russia from admittance, and repossessed German and Turkish territory. Germany was ordered to demilitarize, reducing their military force and military power. Abhorrent provisions were forced upon Weimer Republic to sign the treaty with the threat of an invasion. While the Treaty of Versailles did not render World War II assured, it did advanced the conflict; the provisions caused German expansion, economic downfall, hyperinflation, and vulnerability of the German people that eventually led to the election of Hitler and the Fascist party. Treaty of Versailles was an opposing document often cited as a way to ‘get revenge on Germany’; it signified humiliating defeat for the Germans. Germany being a country that had declared war on many of the seven powers now fallen and being blamed for was a disastrous fall for Germany. Nationalism declined as a result of the government letting the treaty being signed and letting their people feel betrayed.
Many of the provisions in the Treaty of Versailles stated that Germany must pay for the world’s losses, one of them was hyperinflation.

The Treaty of Versailles reclaimed German territory, leading to the German thirst for expansion and the regaining of their lands. In fourth provision of the Treaty of Versailles sacrificed 13% of Germany’s European territory and 10% of its population, losing even more territory in colonies and imperialized land. This angered German pride and nationalism, as the result of the power draining out of them. When Hitler took advantage at the people's vulnerability he promised to regain lost German land and expand the nation to gain respect and power, the German public supported the cause with vigor, eventually electing Adolf Hitler into office. The Treaty of Versailles reclaimed German land, and the loss of German territory and people contributed to the hatred directed towards the government and shattered nationalism and the country apart. The will of the people to come back with revenge again at making Germany suffer, helped Hitler come to

power.
In conclusion, The Treaty of Versailles was only made for one purpose and it was the purpose to bring Germany to the ground. Nationalism took place and didn’t allow for this to dismember Germany and called for a new leader that promised to get Germany’s lands back. Hitler came into power and little did everyone know that Hitler also had other plans in mind also. The Treaty of Versailles is arguably the reason for World War I. Germany was put under the control and she fought back.
