What did France want in the treaty of versialles?
Georges Clemenceua of France had one very simple belief - Germany should be brought to its knees so that she could never start a war again.
This reflected the views of the French public but it was also what Clemenceau himself believed in. He had seen the north-east corner of France destroyed and he determined that Germany should never be allowed to do this again. "The Tiger" did not have to adapt his policies to suit the French public - the French leader and the French public both thought alike.
All they wanted is for Germany to know that the did something wrong

How did the treaty of Versailles increase the number of nations in Europe after ww1?
It broke up Austria-Hungary and made it into many different nations. Borders were very mixed after the war.
What was Germany not allowed to have after the Treaty of Versailles?
There were many things that Germany was forbidden from having. Here's a quick list:
- a General Staff (that is, a council of high-ranking military officers who devise strategies for their military).
- submarines
- tanks or armored cars
- more than 100,000 soldiers in the Army
- any military forces in the Rhineland (a region around the Rhine River; the region also borders France, and happens to make for a good place to start an invasion thereof)
- warplanes
- chemical weapons
There also were other restrictions. For example, the treaty contains extensive language describing exactly how the new German military would be, with exactly what kinds of units and what they can be armed with. Additionally, gun control measures were put in place to prevent German civilians from stockpiling weapons.
And of course, the Germans almost immediately started ignoring it. Right from the start, the Germans totally ignored #1, above, by simply renaming their General Staff as the "Truppenamt" ("Troop Office")- seriously, that's what they did! The restrictions on civilian gun ownership were also largely not enforced, and the Germans began inventing new versions of weapons to get around the bans. Once the Nazis came to power in 1933-34, they began more vigorously (and more flagrantly) violating the provisions of the treaty.
What countries were affected by the Versailles treaty?
When World War I ended, the victorious Allied powers made separate treaties with each of the Central Powers countries. Since Austria-Hungary had split up just before the end of the war, they were treated as two separate countries, and got their own treaties (Trianon for Hungary, St. Germain for Austria).
The Versailles treaty dealt with the war as far as Germany was concerned, and largely punished Germany for having caused the war (although historians have long debated how true that actually was). The treaty only really affected Germany itself, except that Germany's overseas colonies were given to Allied countries (mainly Britain, France and Japan) as "mandates" under the League of Nations. Additionally, Germany was forced to give some territory in Europe to countries around her, such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, and France.
Why did the US senate reject Wilson's Fourteen Points and the Treaty Versailles?
The short answer is that the Senate was not able to ratify the treaty with the necessary 2/3 majority because a faction called the "Irreconcilables" refused to accept the treaty. The primary reason for this was Article 10 of the treaty.
Article 10 basically required that the members of the League of Nations would militarily support other members of the League. The Irreconcilables saw this as a way for the President to declare war without going through Congress, as required by the Constitution.
The Fourteen Points were partially included in the Treaty of Versailles, and were thus rejected as such. The Fourteen Points were never a proposed bill or treaty in their own right; President Wilson used them as an outline for what he had hoped would be the resolution to World War I.
What were the conditions for peace in the Treaty of Versailles?
The Treaty of Versailles established peace by allowing the formation of a League of Nations to solve conflicts between countries. Also, the economic and military suppression it put on Germany and her allies prevented their retaliation.
How did France and Great Britain respond when Germany desobeyed the Treaty of Verailles?
They didn't rearly. When Hitler violated many points of the Treaty of Versailles Neville Chamberlain (British prime minister at the time) was following a policy of appeasement towards Germany. Chamberlian thought that if he allowed Hitler to rectify the more unjust clauses of the treaty then he would be content and another world war would be averted; at the time France was still recovering from WWI and was unwilling to comit any kind of force to opposing German violation of the treaty. Unforunately Hitler did not stop with rebuilding the German armed forces and retaking the parts of Europe that had once belonged to Germany. The German army marched on Czechoslovakia in 1938 as this area was never part of Germany and at the Munich conference Hitler promised to stop there; this led to the infamous quote by Chamberlain "Peace in our time".
Despite this signed promise by Hitler on September 1st 1939 the German army marched on Poland, this was the last straw. Hitler was given an ultimatum that stated of German armed forces did not withraw from Poland, Britain was prepared carry out its obligations to Poland and declare war on Germany.
The Treaty of Versailles caused Germany to lose land and colonies, and if the Fourteen Points had been adopted, Germany wouldn't have lost land and France and Britain would be smaller. The Treaty also caused a Second World War, and this could have been avoided if the Fourteen Points had been adopted, which would have meant differences in Europe, the Soviet Union, Japan, the U.S., and more.

What contributed to the start of World War 2?
The main contribution was when Nazi Germany invaded Poland from the West and the USSR invading from the East. Germany was warned not to invade by the French and British but the ignored it. Instead, Germany signed the Nazi Soviet pact which meant that none will attack each other whilst both claim their respective half of Poland. What all caused this were the effects of World War 1.
Were Germany justified in objecting to the treaty of Versailles?
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...
