The Allied countries during World War I were not about to let Germany get out of the war without paying harshly for it. For that, an unconditional surrender was required, and the Treaty of Versailles provided for it. It also provided for punishing Germany very harshly in an economic sense.

For that harsh treatment (which would have been worse if the Americans had not insisted on it) a fellow by the name of Adolph Hitler was later able to rouse considerable support for "getting back" at the Allied countries for the harsh treatment, and in so doing, of course, getting much glory for himself.
