Google it :o nah im playin well. i assume you are going to mention the treaty as the cause of the WW2, as it did in a way open the way for Hitler to power. The treaty limit
…ed the German army to 100,000 men (unbelievably small number for a great power) and only 6 battleships without any submarines or air force (later Britain introduced a separate agreement allowed Germany to increase its navy up to 35% of the size of Britain's Grand Fleet). Germany lost all the colonies gained during Weltpolitik, they were became League of Nation's mandates run by Britain and France. Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria and lost Danzig, Alsace-Lorraine, which Germany captured off France earlier. Upper Silesia was divided between Germany and Poland according to the results of a referendum organized by the League. Germany also lost the Saar land, which was to be run by the League for 15 years and then a referendum was to be held (when it was, people chose to join Hitler's Germany). This all was "unfair", because Germans were effectively denied self-determination, which other European nations enjoyed (according to Germans themselves). The Treaty also put the blame for starting WW1 on Germany and it therefore had to pay reparations. Original figure was 6,600,000,000 goldmakrs, an very harsh but possible figure; this was reduced by the Dawes Plan and the Young Plan later). One must not forget that Germany enforced even harsher terms on Russia in the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, so the complaints may sound somewhat hypocritic. However, having to accept the blame really angered many Germans, as they saw the war as the result of everyone's mistakes. Another humuiliating condition was the ban from putting Germany soldiers into the Rhineland (next to France), which made the industrial area of Ruhr very vulnerable. Overall Germany lost about 10% of its industries. American loans, however, were helpful in paying the reparations and economy had every chance to recover (which it did). The wish to cancel the treaty's terms became dominant in German politicls until the end of the Weimar republic, with Gustav Stresemann attempting to do so by negotiations and Germany eventually going to WW2, and although the treaty was just one of the causes, it did play an important role.
