Treaty of Versailles
The rise of fascism in Germany.
They blamed Germany, since they started the war. They hated the French . . . the war was largely started to get back at the French for whipping the Germans in the War of 1870. Germany really got hammered by the terms of the Treaty. If it hadn't been for the US insisting on the Treaty not being so harsh as France and Britain wanted it, most of Germany's population would have starved to death. Even so, Germany suffered greatly. Because of the resulting hard feelings by the German people, Adolph Hitler was able to goad the Germans into a second war: World War Two.
Because of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, when France was defeated, the German Empire proclaimed at Versailles, and two provinces (Alsace and Lorraine) transferred from France to Germany. And similarly this goes back to Napoleons defeat of Prussia in 1806...

The Treaty of Versailles ended WW One, not WW Two. The result of this treaty was to essentially totally ruin the Germany economy. Due to the American officials who helped write that treaty, the treaty was not as harsh as the British and French would have liked. Those 2 countries preferred Germany to be destroyed.
Germany was forced to give up its military and pay huge amounts of money to the Allied powers
In the post-World War I era, the legacy of the Treaty of Versailles for Germany and its people was thoroughly negative.
