The Senate rejected the Treaty in March 19, 1920 President Wilson did sign the Treaty of Versailles, but he had foolishly refused to bring Representatives and Senators, particularly Henry Cabot Lodge, the majority leader in the house. This may have biased the legislature against the treaty, but the main reason the U.S. did not agree to the Treaty of Versaille was not that they thought it was too harsh, it was that the League of Nations had become part of the treaty. The U.S. did not want its foreign policy decided by another body, so they rejected the treaty. There is a certain irony that the League of Nations was the addition that the legislatures disliked, as it was the only part of Wilson's 14 points to make it onto the Treaty.

In a way this treaty was much more harsh than the treaty of versaille as it took from Russia 2 thirds of its coal and oil production and gave it to Germany, it gave the Russians a big sum of reparations near to amount of the treaty of versailles. However this treaty was later ignored and pushed aside when Gustav Stresemann hit the scene and tried to make better relations with the other great powers in Europe, this both helped Germany grow to be more trust worthy and also made it easier for itself.
The 1839 Treaty of London was an international agreement between several European powers on the one hand, and Belgium on the other. Among the European powers signing the Treaty were Great Britain and Prussia. Germany was a successor state to Prussia; when Germany united into a nation the Prussian kings became the German Emperors, so the Treaty was still binding on Germany. The pertinent article of the 1839 Treaty of London bound all signatories to forever respect and defend the perpetual neutrality of Belgium. So, when the Germans invaded Belgium in 1914 they were not only breaking their solemn promise under the 1839 Treaty to not make war on Belgium, they were ignoring the fact that they had promised to defend Belgium if anyone did attack Belgium. When the British foreign minister reminded the Germans of their obligations under the 1839 Treaty, the German foreign minister scornfully denounced the Treaty as "a scrap of paper". Rather than allow the Germans to cynically do as they pleased as they set about attempting to dominate Europe, the British honored their obligation to defend Belgium under the 1839 Treaty.
The treaty did not make them inependent
Hitler basically threw out the treaty and did what he and the Germans wanted.

There was a treaty of Versailles, that stopped the Germans from having any allies, make their land bigger, and other stuff.
The Treaty of Versailles was signed to end World War 1, but it was harsh because the Germans were being punished. This made them mad, the Nazis rose, and then we get World War II.

Yes, Germans make omelets
as soon as the Bolsheviks took over in 1917, Lenin tried to make peace. At first their terms were rejected and the Germans advanced almost to Petrograd. however they signed the Treaty of Brest Litovsk just in time. This treaty meant Russian surrendered and gave up huge amounts of land to the Germans.
