The Treaty of Versailles (Ended WWI)

In 1919, World War One officially came to a close with the signing of a treaty. This was the Treaty of Versailles, handed over to the German government after a 6 month negotiation in the Paris Peace Conference. The treaty called for immediate peace between all countries, Germany to full fill neccessary reperations and debts, along with solving all territorial desputes. Even though very effective, The treaty of Versailles was also a very controversial document. Germany felt that it was unfair was because they were striped of all their over-sea colonies along with other peices of territory. But one major reason why the treaty caused so much controversy was because it called for the German empire to repay a debt, which consisted of an amount in the billions. This did not sit to well with a nation who had just came out of a war themselves, especially when they werent allowed a say in the negotiations.
After the treaty was put in place, Germany was affected in numerous ways. For example, when Germany lost all of its colonial territories, trade and income was affected greatly. With the loss of their colonies, Germany lost many businesses and companies. Besides losing money off of territorial loss, the reperations themselves put Germany in a massive debt.
These consequences can easily uspet the citizens in many ways. For example, some may feel that the world is against them, leading to groups and clans. Some known as Hitler and the Nazi party.
