The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

After the first World War, there was so many things that were destroyed after this war. Many nations were part of this war, but only one country was blamed for all the disasters and it was Germany. According to the Treaty Of Versailles, Germany had to take all blame. Not only but they were responsible of the war, buy because they were, they had to pay all the damages that was done during the war.

Germany had lost 10% of their land after the war, and their population went down. Many people found themselves outside of the German borders, this was bad news for Germany. Also many overseas colonies that belonged to Germany were shared between the Allies nations, Germany was left with none of the overseas colonies. Germany was forced to do all these things because of treaty. This was an embarrassment to the Germans. Germany had to live by people's rules because they were taken out of the League of Nations. They no longer can show off nationalism when their country had been attacked and embarrassed.
I believe this led to Fascism and Adolph Hitler because Germany felt bitter.
