Article 231. It was the Reparations Clause. It ordered the German Empire to pay reparations to the United States. The original amount was 226 billion Reichsmarks, but was later reduced to 132 billion Reichsmarks (worth about $438 billion USD, circa 2010).

This put Germany into a state of hyperinflation, making their money worth less and raising their taxes to astronomical proportions.

Who was upset by the outcome of the treaties following World War?

Many countries were upset by the outcomes of the treaties following World War I, particularly Germany, which felt humiliated by the harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty imposed heavy reparations, territorial losses, and military restrictions, leading to widespread resentment among the German population. Additionally, other nations, like Italy, were dissatisfied with the peace settlements, feeling that they did not receive the territorial gains promised in the Treaty of London.

What did article 231 of the treaty of Versailles demand regarding German reparations after world war 1 why were the Germans so upset by this part of the treaty?

Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles, often referred to as the "War Guilt Clause," demanded that Germany accept full responsibility for initiating World War I and required them to pay reparations to the Allied powers. Germans were deeply upset by this clause as it not only placed the blame for the war squarely on their shoulders but also imposed heavy financial burdens that many believed were excessive and unjust. This sense of humiliation and economic hardship fueled resentment and nationalism in Germany, contributing to the rise of extremist political movements in the following years.
