Germany was forced to pay the Allied Powers and accept blame for the war (apex)
The Treaty of Versailles forced Germany to bear the entire costs of World War I. This crippled her economy-massive inflation meant that it was cheaper to burn money than firewood for cooking. France was relying on those war reparations to rebuild her economy-those reparations were worthless. In addition, the painful economic instability made Germany weak. The newly created Poland attacked Germany several times-being fought off by ad hoc militia units called Freikorps. Many of those would join the Nazis in a few years. Communists gained in strength as well-threatening many of the retired soldiers. Many problems existed throughout Germany post-WWI. The major source of problems was born out of the Treaty of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles caused disillusionment throughout Germany. Many German's felt betrayed and outraged that their own government, the Weimar Republic would accept the oppressive conditions laid out in the Versailles Treaty. The Treaty, contained a war-guilt clause which basically held Germany solely responsible for the outbreak of WWI. Moreover, Germany had to pay war reparations which were astronomical and nearly impossible to pay. In addition to the reparations, Germany would lose Alsace-Lorraine and major territories in Western Germany, which contained major industrial and economic centers. The total cummulative loss of these territories compounded the economic problems within Germany.
During WW1 alot of fighting was done on french land and because of this a lot of damage was caused to france's industry and farming. As Germany had 'lost' the war Clemenceau decided that it was Germany who were to blame for the damage done to france. He wanted Germany to pay reparations for the damage caused to the land and he wanted them to face the consequences, he wanted them to give up land limit the size of their army and accept the war guilt Much of the fighting of WW1 was done between Germany and France on French territory and clemenceau along with the rest of the French wanted revenge for the damage done to France(1.5 million French soldiers dead along with 300,000 French civilians), So he felt the need to impose harsh policies and reparations on Germany in the treaty of Versailles

In addition Germany was forbidden from having military forces.

Germany was given total responsibility. The Germans were supposed to make heavy dollar reparations, rebuild European infrastructure, practically dismantle its military, and accept responsibility. This did not set well with the German people. The war responsibility and Great Depression paved the way for Adolph Hitler to assume power in the 1930's.
