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.
