In the 1930s, several key violations of the Treaty of Versailles occurred, notably by Germany under Adolf Hitler. Germany remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936, reintroducing troops in direct defiance of the treaty's demilitarization provisions. Additionally, Hitler pursued territorial expansion, annexing Austria in the Anschluss of 1938 and demanding the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia, further undermining the treaty's restrictions on German expansion and military buildup. These actions ultimately contributed to the outbreak of World War II.
Absolutely he did. In fact, Hitler used the Treat of Versailles to rally the German people to his side, claiming the Treaty was unfair and the cause of their Depression-era economic suffering.
WW1 was the cause. The Treaty of Versailles was the peace settlement signed between Germany and the Allies after WW1. The Treaty was a direct cause of WW2 because Germany was dissatisfied with the harsh penalties imposed upon the country by the treaty. The above claim that Versailles 'was a direct cause of WW2' is American college mythology.
The German invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 Edit; The failure of the far superior French army to take drastic action when the German army marched into the industrial Ruhr in direct defiance of the Versailles Treaty.
That Germany was being Punished for something it was not responsible for. The Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany, and Germany alone for the outbreak of WWI, when this was not the case. Yes Germany wanted war, but it began with an assassination in Austri and, many different nations joined the war for different reasons. Therefore the war guilt clause of the treaty, was arguably the most difficult for the German people to swallow. The War guilt clause hand in hand with huge reparations, consequently had an immense impact on the coming years. It is believed to be one of the direct causes for the Kapp Putch therefore the rise of nationalism and ultimately the coming of Adolf hitler to power in 1933.

In 1921, the Greeks could have gone through either Bulgaria or the Ottoman Empire. If we are considering the Treaty of Sèvres to be in operation (as opposed to the Treaty of Versailles) then, Greece would have had direct access to the Black Sea.
When Germany pursued rearmament in the 1930s, America had a weak response. America and the other Allies could have strongly objected since it was in direct violation of the Treaty of Versailles.
WORLD WAR 11 was a direct result of the Treaty of the Versailles. Adolph Hitler hated that treaty because he believed Jews designed it and it was responsible for all the troubles in Germany. They had terrible unemployment, starvation and no way to fight since they could not build war things. Once he became the Fuhrer he chose to ignore the Treaty and began invading other countries with this army and armament build up.

After World War 1, the Treaty of Versailles had limited Germany's military power. As chancellor, Hitler stressed that Germany wished to revise the unfair provisions. Germany, he said, only wanted rightful place among the European states. On March 9, 1935, however, Hitler announced the creation of a new air force. One week later, he began a military draft that would expand Germany's army from 100,000 to 550,000 troops. These steps were in direct violation of the Treaty of Versailles. France, Great Britian, and Italy warned against future aggressive steps. Hitler was convinced that the Western countries had no intention of using force to maintain the Treaty of Versailles. Hence, on March 7, 1936, he sent German troops to the Rhineland. According to the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was not permitted to have weapons of fortifications there. France had the right to use force against the violation of this provision but would act without British support.
