The Treaty of Versailles was very unfair towards the Germans. After the war was over, in 1918, the defeated country was punished and Germany was forced to sign a Peace Treaty, giving them restrictions to military forces and rules that they had to live by.

Germans felt betrayed by the treaty. "German honor is being carried to its grave." The paper The Deutsche Zeitung. A number of non-German observers and some historians also considered the treaty too harsh. It said Germany would have to lose the rights and titles of the overseas countries, had to demobilize the military and get rid of submarines and air force. They also made sure that Germany paid back and it would be about $33 billion. If the treaty wasn't so harsh could WWII have been avoided?

If the Treaty of Versailles wasn't so harsh than maybe WWII could have been avoided, because the treaty forced Germany in to a depredation that meant a person like Adolf Hitler could rize to power and blame it all on the Jews starting the Holocaust and WWII.
