The Treaty Of Versailles


The Treaty Of Versailles effected the Germans the most. They where said to be the main cause of World War One. They caused the most deaths during World War One.Germany hand to pay over one billion dollars, as well as losing ten percent of their land.Germany was broken after that making Poland,Yugoslavia,Czechoslovakia,Latvia,Estonia,Lithuania.At the end of this major geographical change Austria Hungary was a much smaller country.
Historians said that the Treaty Of Versailles caused the rise of Adolph Hitler.I am not sure on my opinion on that theory because I have two opinions.

1)The Germans would have been angery at the surrounding countries for being blamed seperatly for World War One.


2)The Germans could have just want to so that they are still a strong country an let loss on Israel.
