Germany was punished rather severely by the Treaty of Versailles, and for a war that Germany did not even start. Many humiliating limitations were imposed on Germany. The German Army was restricted to a certain size, and there were some weapons they were forbidden from having. The size and number of warships in the German Navy was also limited. For these reasons, few in the German military opposed the Nazis when they rose to take over Germany in the 1930's, as the Nazis appeared to be the best bet for restoring Germany to its pre-WW1 prominence. The Treaty of Versailles paid terrible dividends in the next war, in which Germany was this time the instigator.
