The Treaty of Versailles was written at the end of WWI. The primary authors were France, Great Britain, and the USA. The goal was to make Germany pay and prevent them from causing another war. It failed miserably and this is obvious because WWII followed WWI. The treaty of Versailles puts Germany in such bad circumstances that they revolt and started WWII.
The Treaty of Versailles helped cause World War Two because a handful of countries that were involved in the war got no say on what was or was not included in the treaty. This caused those Allie countries that were not included to believe that they need to fight against the people who were once on their side to prove that they were just as important. Also so the losing country Germany had a variety of punishments pushed onto them for starting the war so they were outraged at the winning countries as well. Germany was the main reason for the start of World War Two in Document B it is stated that Germans military was reduced. They were only allowed to have 100,000 men for peacekeeping missions and conquering frontiers within their boundaries.
World War II The versailles treaty helped cause World War II because Germany lost several territories, their military and army were limited, they also had to pay reparations and they had to admit that they were guilty. World War II began in 1914 due to an assassination in the balkans that helped lead to the actual fighting. Leaders from around the world met at versailles in France to come up with a treaty. Prime Minister David Lloyd George of England, Prime Minister Georges Clemenceau of France, and Woodrow Wilson President of the United States all played a major part in the versailles treaty.
So, what caused World War II, many ask. Well, you may be shocked to hear that one document was the cause. The Treaty of Versailles was a document that was signed to finalize Germany after WWI. The treaty punished Germany in many ways, including military reorganization, war guilt, territory loss, and reparations leading to World War II.
World War I ended in 1918 with the victorious Allied powers, and the peace-promising Treaty of Versailles. However, this treaty 's peace did not last long as its unrealistic demands caused strong resentment within the Central powers against the Allied powers. Territorial losses, reparation payments, and inflation all left Europe in economic ruins. The damage and destruction that resulted from World War I paved a clear path that allowed for World War II to occur. It began in 1933 when Adolf Hitler gained power and, with the help of the Nazi Party, turned Germany in a totalitarian dictatorship.
Due to the Treaty of Versailles’ instability, many countries were negatively impacted in various ways. These countries include Germany, France, Italy, and many recently established countries in Europe. It impacted them by ruining countries’ pride, economic situation, and power. In document 1 it mentions how Germany’s armed forces could not contain any military or naval air forces, stripping away their power as a country, which makes them more vulnerable to attacks by other countries.
17 million deaths was how WWI ended and the treaty of Versailles that came soon after that was supposed to help make peace helped start a secondary war. In Europe not long after WWI ended on November 11, 1918 the Versailles Treaty was being made with leaders from the countries involved in the war such as France, England, the US. But, Germany was deliberately excluded. This essay will address the question of how the Versailles Treaty helped cause World War II. The Treaty of Versailles helped cause World War II by treating Germany harshly.
On June 28, 1919, Germany and the Allied Powers signed the Treaty of Versailles, formally ending one of the bloodiest wars in modern history. World War I caused the deaths of nearly ten million soldiers and up to thirteen million non-combatants. Catastrophic property and industry losses occurred, especially in France, Belgium, Poland, and Serbia.
After this war ended on November 11, 1918, leaders from the countries made a treaty called the Treaty of Versailles. After this treaty was made, many things happened and the question in many people 's minds was how did this treaty cause WWII? The Treaty of Versailles helped cause WWII by treating Germany harshly in these three ways: Their army was reduced, they lost territory, and the number one reason is all of the blame Germany got. One way that the Treaty of Versailles treated Germany harshly was the way that it reduced their army. After the date of March 31, 1920, Germany wasn’t allowed to have over one hundred thousand soldiers in its army, (Doc B) Germany would more than likely be furious because what if they were attacked?
The Treaty of Versailles ended WWI but started WWII. The treaty prohibited Germany from being able to have a full military and to take the guilt for the cause of WWI. Feeling weak, Germany wanted to become powerful again. Germany, being very angry, listened to Adolf Hitler’s speeches to make Germany powerful once again. Although Germany killed many during WWI, they felt like they were treated unfairly.
However, the peace did not last for long. Soon, World War II had begun. The Treaty of Versailles played a part in starting World War II. It was extremely harsh towards Germany, and made Germany assume all the war
The First World War caused millions of deaths and destruction all over Europe and around the world. When the war ended, the victors gathered to mend the results of war through a peace treaty that blamed the defeated− the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty was signed in 1919 and greatly affected the world both directly and indirectly. However, while it did attempt to fix the damage done by WW1, it added further burdens and injury to an already weak Germany that eventually led to the Second World War from their feelings of revenge and rage. This is because the Treaty of Versailles was an imperfect agreement that punished Germany too much and negatively affected both Germany and Europe in physical, political, and financial ways.
It is in the struggle to ensure peace following the tragic events of WWI – a war that was that previously demolished millions of lives and caused hatred that lasted for generations – that the Treaty of Versailles could be seen as a beacon of light in this struggle of peace. Agreed upon by the WWI superpowers of Britain, France and the United States, the purpose of the treaty was to end World War I in such a way that the victorious Entente powers would be satisfied and would result in the unification of Europe. However, it is in this pursuit of harmony that the Treaty of Versailles - intended to be a peace agreement between the Allies and Germany – ended up causing inevitable instability due to its flawed and abusive content – deliberately paralysing
Introduction World War I came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. The treaty was signed to create lasting peace. The treaty was negotiated between the three allied powers of Britain, France and the United States with no participation from Germany. The treaty 's negotiations revealed a split between the three allied powers with France intending to weaken Germany in such a manner that it would make it impossible for it to renew hostilities. However, Britain and the United States objected to some of the provisions because of the fear that it would be a pretext for another war.
“When the peace treaty is signed, the war isn’t over” (Marlantes). When the fighting stopped on the battlefront of World War I many leaders of different countries gathered together in Paris. They were there to discuss the Treaty of Versailles that would ensure permanent peace. The treaty that was created was extremely unfair to Germany. The Treaty of Versailles was far from perfect, but some of the biggest faults were forcing Germany to take the blame for the whole war, demanding they give up all of their colonies and decrease the size of their military, and paying reparations to the Allies.
