The Treaty of Versailles was, viewed from an objective point of view, manifestly unfair on Germany. However it is coloured by the demands in territory & economic demands of Prussia (Germany) following their victory over the French in the 1870-71 war. Versailles made Germany poorer, created resentment and fostered a desire for revenge. The Great Depression added to this and it might be argued affected the poorest most. The breeding ground for Nationalism was established, along with a focus for all the ills of the world, and Hitler was able to find mass support for his rabble rousing invective. The Versailles Treaty with the benefits it may have had to other countries was so disproportioate towards Germany that its effects were so penalising that, for the German population as a whole, a feeling that they had nothing to lose was an appealing option. Hitler appealed greatly to this strand of thought. Although I am not saying that Versailles created the Depression, it didn't, it did not help.
