The Treaty of Versailles was the agreement drawn up at the end of World War I. Germany were not consulted in the writing of the treaty and it was made unnecessarily harsh. Germany was said to be completely responsible for the war and had to pay for it. The full £6.6 billion would not have been paid off until 1984. Loads of land was taken off them and they were only allowed a tiny army, no air force and 6 battleships. They also weren't allowed troops near the border to France. (The French army could just walk across and Germany couldn't do anything!)
The Germans felt really bitter and venerable because of these requirements. Hitler was elected because of the policy that they would do something about the treaty. He stopped paying the money and brought back the armed forces. The other countries let him because they knew the treaty had been over the top.
The first area Hitler took over was originally German land that had been given to Czechoslovakia. After taking back their own land, they invaded the whole of Czechoslovakia. (Don't make me type it again! XD) All the countries Germany invaded first were originally German land. The other countries let it go, but said not to invade Poland (Poland only gained independence after WWI. This took land away from Germany - see a pattern occurring here?) Hitler signed a document with the British prime minister, Chamberlain, saying they wouldn't invade Poland . . . But he did anyway.
That was the final straw, and war started after that.
So, yeah, the Treaty of Versailles has quite a lot to do with World War II. It's one of the main causes.
Hope this helps,
