Article 231 of the Versailles Treaty also known as the "War Guilt Clause", lays sole responsibility for the war on Germany, which was to be accountable for all damage to civilian populations of the Allies.
The exact text of the Article was as follows:
The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and 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 imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies.
ARTICLE 231.
The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and 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 imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies.
Pretty much, Article 231 states that Germany and their allies must accept full responcibility for starting World War I.
Article 232 of the Treaty of Versailles states that Germany is responsible for the civilian damages that was caused during the war. Germany was also responsible for a full restoration of Belgium.
In article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles Germany had to accept sole responsibility for causing World War 1. The article is the first in the section dealing with reparations.
The treaty of versailles.
The Treaty of Versailles allowed Germany to have a maximum of 100,000 soldiers and 15,000 sailors however they were not allowed any submarines. And no aircraft.
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.
i think you may be a bit confused. the us president, Woodrow Wilson, DID sign the Treaty of Versailles along with the other allied powers. however, the us didn't join the league of nations, which i think is what you may be talking about.
Depends on your opinion. I'd say no, although it is worth mentioning that the treaty humiliated and enfuriated the average german, and gave rise to Hitler, somebody who promised to restore Germany's power...
You need to say which treaty ... Versailles?

He called it an "abomination." He promised to the German people that he would "Rectify the wrongs made by the Greater Enemy." He never elaborated on who he referred to in the latter quote.

The Treaty of Versailles. It took away Germany's pride and money. They had to pay for war damages. They also had to admit defeat and say it was their fault. That hurt their pride. Imagine admitting defeat to foreigners. The Germans hated foreigners.
Many experts in history say that World War II (WWII) began because of the Treaty of Versailles. This treaty was an agreement between the Allies, the winning countries of WWI, which were mainly France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The treaty was created primarily so that the Allies could decide and agree upon what they wanted to do to the Central Powers, the losing countries of WWI, which were mainly Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire
I just read from my book and it say's the these agreements created feelings of bitterness and betrayal among the victors and the defeated
