People blamed Germany for World War I primarily due to its aggressive military strategies and the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which triggered the conflict. The German Empire's role in supporting Austria-Hungary against Serbia and its subsequent invasion of Belgium, violating neutral territory, further fueled resentment. Additionally, the Treaty of Versailles placed heavy reparations and territorial losses on Germany, solidifying the perception of its guilt in the war's outbreak and devastation. This narrative was reinforced by Propaganda and the desire for accountability among the Allied nations.

Germany was largely blamed for World War 1. The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, placed full responsibility for the war on Germany and its allies and imposed large reparations on them. This blame contributed to the political and economic instability in Germany during the post-war period.
Yes, the blame for World War 2 rests primarily with Germany and Japan. They made the decision to start a war of aggression.
Germany was held responsible for World War I, primarily due to the Treaty of Versailles, which was signed in 1919. The treaty included a "war guilt clause" (Article 231) that placed the blame for the war squarely on Germany and its allies. This perception of blame contributed to significant political and economic repercussions for Germany in the post-war period.
I don't know... maybe Germany
Germany was forced to take all the blame for World War I as dictated in the Treaty of Versailles.
Germany
It depends on which war. If you are asking about World War 1, I would say no. I think Austria-Hungary should get most of the blame. In World War 2, I would say Germany was to blame, but I will also add that other countries were headed for war anyway regardless of anything that Germany did.
Germany
Japan, too.
This is an opinion type question, of course. Who is to blame on how the war startedwill be different from the blame for why it was not stopped or on how the war was fought. Most historians would say that no one country was entirely to blame for the First World War. Actually most people that participated in the war would say that the cause of the start of the war was complicated and that several countries were to blame. Now after the war started, Germany's decisions can be questioned. Germany, as the military aggressor on the Western Front, could have ended the war years sooner, but it didn't. Germany can be blamed for many things, including invading neutral countries and sinking neutral ships.
