How Did The Treaty Of Versailles Contribute To Ww2

The Treaty of Versailles was one of many contributions to starting World War II. Before the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was suffering from a great depression because of the Allies taking many of their supplies so they wouldn't go to war. Hitler saw this and thought that it was an injustice that had to be stopped. If Germany did not sign the Allies were going to start an invasion because they all wanted to be the same and to make sure that they would not go to war. Hitler wanted to stick up for Germany because he believed that they should all be free and be different from the other countries. Exhibits H, A, and C all support the idea that the Treaty of Versailles started World War II. To start, Exhibit H, the excerpt from “Victory Must Be Ours: Germany in the Great War

Germany thought that this was very unfair because they not only took away their coal supply but also took away overseas colonies. Germany was militarily weak and wanted to gain their country back and thought that the only way to take it back was with war. "Most Germans saw it as an atrocious injustice, an evil thing which must be destroyed.” This quote states that everyone in Germany saw it as an injustice not just Hitler. When they heard Hitler preaching about how they should defend their country and show their identification they were in, and perched Hitler with what he thought. Next, Exhibit A, the Excerpt from a Political Cartoon by Daniel Fitzpatrick. Louis Post-DispatchOctober 19, 1930 states that the Treaty of Versailles did start World War II because Germany was trying to get out of signing it by going to war because they were not just military week but they had no supplies and they did not want to feel the humiliation of losing land to the allies.
