Treaty Of Versailles (ended WW I)


The Treaty of Versaillles was the peace treaty which ended the World War 1 between the Allied and Centeral Powers. The Treaty was signed at the Paris Peace Confrence. This treaty put the blame of the entire war on Germany. The treaty stated that Germany had to give up most of there conquered lands to the surrounding countries. They were stripped of all there overseas colonies mostly the ones in Africa. The treaty also decreased the number of there military so they would not be able to start a war and fight back. Germany was blamed for the whole War

I think historians say that the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph Hitler because Germany was weak and they were desperate for some control.
