It is obvious that when the Treaty of Versailles was made, the rules weren't offering peace with the Germans, but it was more of a punishment. Germany was angered by how they had to pay approx. 30 billion dollars to the Allies (or the Triple Entente), they also had to give away some parts of their own land, which is now Poland.They had to lower all their military, by 100,000 men, and their naval ships were forced to be removed/weakened as well as their air forces. This was the biggest cause or excuse that the Germans were holding in so long. To be honest, there is so much more causes. Over all the Germans felt that WW1 loss was unfair, and they blamed it on the Jews(Adolf Hitler, hint hint) and then they started basically wiping out everyone of the Jewish religion, not blonde hair blue eyes(Aryan Race), Gypsies, Homosexuals, Handicaps, Jehovah's Witnesses, and many more who just interfered with the German/Nazism belief and ideals. So basically the Treaty of Versailles was the biggest/arguable cause to start WW2.
