Why was Germany so unhappy about article 231 of the treaty of Versailles?

Article 231 placed the blame of the war on Germany and it's allies. This meant that all losses and damages from the war were Germany's responsibility and they had to make reparations. Germany was unhappy with this article because it placed a huge debt on them.

Two provisions of the treaty of Versailles treaty relate to Germany?

In fact, majority of the articles of the Versailles treaty relate to Germany. One important thing to remember is that there were no German representatives allowed into the committee deciding upon the terms of the treaty. Two of the most prominent articles relating to Germany are Article 43 and Article 231. Article 43 demands that in a certain are designated in Germany (the Rhine), the creation and training of armed forces are forbidden. This is prominent because this leaves France safe from German forces and also leaves Germany with its hands tied behind its back and other countries deciding what to do with the affairs within the country. This is very representative of the severe oppression Germany faced in the treaty. Article 231, the most important, demands that "Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war". This article makes Germany the scapegoat of all the destruction the war caused. This, going on with the previous point, also serves as an act of oppression to Germany.


What were the similarities between the Congress of Vienna and the Treaty of Versailles?

Both the Treaty of Versailles and the Congress of Vienna had simillar goals in mind, the recreation/resoration of a European peace. Both took place after major wars, (The Congress took place after the Napoleonic Wars, and Versailles after WWI) and in both cases the nation held responsible changed its politics in order to be seen as a member of the "club" (France put the Bourbons back on the Throne, and Germany became a Republic). The differences are much more prevelant both in the agreements and the results. First of all at Vienna, France was allowed to participate. This ensured a gentler settlement for France, Germany was excluded from the "Big (Decision Making) Four" during Versallies. Versallies established a much harsher settlement for Germany forcing them to pay crippling reparations and to limit their military. France had to accept much more lienient measures at Vienna, mainly because at Vienna it was more about putting Europe back together then punishing a guilty nation. Vienna established peace up until the Crimean war. Versallies lead to the Great Depression, and provided fooder for the rise of Mousillini and Hitler
