The Treaty’s cause to WW2

The treaty of Versailles was more of a ploy to get revenge on the German people for what happen during WW1 instead of a treaty. It has been widely proven that WW1 Lead directly towards WW2. There were just too many things that failed that could have gone right if only the treaty was designed for peace.

Germany was not allowed to join the League in 1919. Because the treaty said that Germany had started the war. Even thou they were wrong, it did not matter. So they were not allowed to join the League of nations (LON)

Germany also had to reduce their men to 100,000 for their arm forces. They were not allowed to have any kind of Air force, and there navy was reduced to

Germany no longer had the will nor the power to continue fighting this war. But many people wanted Germany to refuels the treaty, but knew that they had no choose but too accept or be invaded, So “The treaty was signed on June 28th 1919 after months of argument and negotiation amongst the so-called "Big Three" as to what the treaty should contain.”(Treaty) happy about what had happen to there once proud people. In the War the Germans had lost over 2,000,000 soldiers and for that people already had resentment towards the Allis. Not to mention that they already had not pay for war funds and a verity of things. So I’m sure that the tension between the Germans and the Allis were justified. It hit them pretty hard on the people, they felt that they were humiliated, even spit on if you will. That is more than a enough reasons for a war to break

When the Germans had lost WW1, Hitler felt as if the Allis (with the treaty being so oppression to German people.) were attacking him directly. He made it his soul duty to oppose them. Hitler created the Nazi party and had several attempts to take the German power for himself with arm up rising. After his attempts failed and landed him in jail for a good chunk of time. That jail time change his outlook on the world and furthered increased his pride in the German people and his father land. This in the end landed him in the position of complete control over Germany. The treaty itself may have been intended to oppress the Germans, but it’s not that simple. The Japanese had fought in ww1 as well the other countries ,( They were on the side of the Allis) But when it came down to so the treaty they felt like they got no recondition, and hardly had any say about what goes in the treaty and ect. So indirectly the Japanese felt disrespected. An in their culture, honor is a very high standing
