The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

When World War I ended on November 11, 1918, the Allied leaders were giving out speeches, wanting to punish the enemy and dividing the spoils of the war. Due to this, a formal agreement to end the war was made and was called "the Treaty of Versailles." The Treaty of Versailles was either a treaty of peace or a vengeance for the Germans.

When the treaty was first introduced to the Germans, they declined to sign it. It forced the Germans to accept full responsibility for the war and strip themselves of its colonies, coal fields, and the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. It also made them pay reparations to the Allies.

However, on June 28, 1919, the Germans unwillingly signed the treaty because the Allies didn't want to change the treaty. The terms of the Treaty of Versailles helped set the stage for another world war less than 20 years later because the Allied wanted to stop Germany from ever becoming imperialistic again and still have them pay the war reparations. Germany was desperate to find a new leader to get out of their depression, that leader was no other than Adolf Hitler.

I personally think that the treaty was just, because Germany did cause the outbreak of the war by invading Belgium to try to reach France.
