Did only the Americans think the Treaty of Versailles was a bad thing?

No, the Treaty of Versailles was criticized by various countries beyond the United States. Many Germans viewed it as excessively punitive, leading to resentment and economic hardship. Additionally, some Allied nations felt it was too lenient or ineffective in ensuring lasting peace. Overall, the treaty faced widespread criticism across different nations for its terms and perceived consequences.


Was the Treaty of Versailles an success?

The Treaty of Versailles was overall a failure. It was meant to prevent the emergence of another World War, which it did not. However, to its defense, the appeasement method of Britain and France later on in the interwar period was much to blame for the ineffectiveness of the treaty. Firstly, the Treaty of Versailles had left Germany devastated and bitter. The Germans had agreed to surrender expecting terms that would reflect Wilson's Fourteen Points. To Germany's surprise, Wilson was unable to defend his ideals against the overwhelming resentment that Britain and France held for Germany and he was forced to compromise with David Lloyd George and Georges Clemenceau which resulted in the treaty being much less desirable to the Germans. For one, the Germans were forced to pay reparation fees of 132 billion gold marks, leaving Germany's economy crippled and the people poor. Combined with bitterness towards the Allies, the desperation of the Germans led them to turn to Hitler who promised them a better life and to restore Germany's power. Secondly, the principle of self-determination gave birth to numerous small buffer states being created around Germany. The Treaty promised the sovereignty and independence of these states, but the states had no military strength of their own to protect them when Hitler began invading these territories. As well, the Allies were reluctant to confront Hitler. Overall, the Treaty of Versailles was not able to prevent a Second World War. The terms of the treaty had made the Germans bitter and desperate which led them turn to Hitler, who then seized all of the weak buffer states that surrounded Germany created as a result of the treaty.

How did the end of WW 1 lead to the roots of World War 2?

At the end of WW 1 the Germans had to sign the Treaty of Versailles. In the Treaty it said that it was the Germans fault for starting the war, they had to pay other countries repair money for the war, couldn't have their troops in the Rhineland, had a certain amount of people in their army (around 1000 people i think), and to lose some of their territory, such as part of Czechoslovakia and they couldn't go near Austria. The Treaty of Versailles was the main reason WW 2 started. Hope that helps!

What were the appeasements in the Treaty of Versailles?

I think you are a bit confused. "Appeasement" was not a part of the Versailles Treaty. This refers to the actions (or really lack of actions) taken by the Allied powers when Germany began violating the agreements that ended World War 1.
