It depends on your perspective. In WW2, Germany had tried to destroy Russia, killing anyone they encountered. They locked up innocent Jews, Gypsies, homosexuals, and political dissidents and executed them in the millions. They bombed England to near destruction, all in an effort to eliminate everyone who wasn't part of their Aryan ideal. Some believe being "fair" would mean that we would have destroyed a few million of THEIR people. Allowing them to live was lenient. Dividing their land to be controlled by the Allied nations was considered necessary to keep Germany from rebuilding after the war, and starting another war, 20 years later. That's what they did, by the way. They tried to take over Europe during WW1. The league of nations placed sanctions on Germany, (which they never enforced), and Germany started marching across Europe again in the 30's. What could have been more "fair" than to prevent them from doing it again? The Allies were good to Germany, they brought supplies, medical help and didn't kill them.
No, most Germans thought the Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War 1, was grossly unfair.
They wanted to make Germany weaker militarily. they blamed germany for the war and made them pay lots of reperations
The Allies treated Germany very harshly with the treaty. After World War 1 Germany was in economical crisis. If the Allies would have helped Germany after the war maybe Adolf Hitler would never have a reason to start World War 2
They treated Germany rather too punitively, which created much resentment in Germany. A resentment that Hitler used to bring about WW2.

Germany withdrew from the league in 1933 on the grounds that the League did not treat them fairly.

Jews still were treated as 'lows' while Germany was recovering from the devastation of World War One after Hitler had commited suicide, so that he will not have to admit defeat to the Russians.
