Treaty of Versailles

History Channel Documentary,

Some have asserted that the Treaty of Versailles was 'unforgiving and irrational' and thusly was the seed which ensured the second world war. Germany would look to review this off-base. In truth the Treaty of Versailles was no harsher than the very terms that the Germans had looked to force on the Russians in 1917/18 with Russia compelled to withdraw huge tracts of domain and pay substantial repayments in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

In truth the more prominent reason for the second world war was the conviction by numerous Germans that they had never lost the first world war. German domain had not been attacked, the troops felt they had never lost. In actuality the armed force needed to come back to Germany to protect the state from social emergency, as Germany was in more serious peril from inner foes than the risk postured by the partners.
