The German people would not accept the terms of the Treaty of Versailles as they said that it was a 'Diktat' which means 'Dictatorship' they said this as they were not allowed to have any say in the terms of the treaty. Another reason why the Germans did not accept the treaty was because they did'NT accept the terms of it ie, the military restrictions, the territory loses and the war guilt clause.
The terms of peace laid out by the Versailles Treaty were actually plans to decimate the German military and economy.
Germany had to accept they started the war
232
France and Britain threatened to continue the war if they didn't accept, and the German generals told the government that Germany was in no position to fight effectively. This was because they were running out of raw materials, food, men and amunition so there was a great chanceof losing the war.Not accepting the Treaty of Versailles would have resulted in the war being re-opened. Some German politicians were in favour of this, for example, the Chancellor, Scheidemann, and the Army Minister, Noske, who resigned rather than accept the treaty. However, the senior German generals said the the army was in no position to resume fighting. The military and many politicians also feared that a resumption of the war would lead to a massive (and possibly successful) Communist uprising in Germany.

There was a good deal of opposition to the Treaty of Versailles on all sides. The British chastised the French for being too vindictive, while the French marshal felt it was too lenient. There was fierce opposition to the treaty in the United States, and it was not ratified. Germany, who had been ready to accept the lenient Fourteen Points were devastated by the Treaty of Versailles.
