Why was the treaty of Versailles considered unfair?
PatienceBrownfb2471
Because the conditions made sure that Germany would be crippled economically for decades to come because of the 'damage payments' set by the Allies at a fantastically high level, to be paid by Germany. Moreover, the Allies were giving away large chunks of Germany to newly established countries like Poland and Czechoslovakia, even if these lands were inhabited by a majority of Germans.
Furthermore, downsizing the German army by the Treaty to almost nothing was sure to mean a) that tens of thousands professional soldiers would become unemployed and add to the problems just created by the Allies and b) that that would be no organization to deal with any internal unrest - and this while Germany was already in the midst of all kinds of revolts against the Government.
It is because of these conditions that historians now say that the rise of Hitler and later WW 2 was the logical outcome of the Treaty of Versailles and basically a continuation of WW 1. It also explains why nobody acted when Hitler annexed the Rhineland, the Sudetenland and Austria. The first two had always been part of the German Empire. And Austria had itself asked to join Germany in 1919, only to be refused by the Allies.
