Was the Treaty of Versailles a good treaty?

The Treaty of Versailles was a very harsh treaty but was good in some ways Germany was seen as a violent, power hungry and money hungry country. The terms of the treaty reduced the size of its army and navy. It was harsh, maybe even too harsh, because all German colonies were given to France, Britain and other countries.

The treaty also prevented Germany from uniting with Austria. It made Germany very poor Here are the terms of the Treaty of Versailles: Germany was to accept the blame for starting the war, under the terms of 'War guilt' cause Germany was to reduce its army to 100,000 men Germany could only have 6 battleships in its navy Germany was not allowed to build any aeroplanes, submarines or tanks Germany had to pay 6,600 million pounds in reparations to the countries that had won the war All Germany's colonies were given to France, Britain and other counties Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria Germany was to demilitarise the Rhineland Alsace-Lorraine went back to France Germany also lost a strip of land called the Polish Corridor. This was given to Poland, cutting East Prussia off from the rest of Germany Many historians later came to believe that the harshness of the treaty, in combination with the victors insistence on receiving all the reparations once the Great Depression began, were significant contributors to the rise of tler and the start of World War II.

This is one reason the terms imposed at the end of World War II were different, and why programs such as the Marshal Plan were made available to the defeated countries as well as to American allies.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
