What Aspects of the Treaty of Versailles Caused Bitterness in Germany After Ww2? How Did Adolf Hitler Fail to Keep the Terms of the Treaty Between 1933 and 1938?

in 1919 the paris peace conference was held in France to discuss post war matters which included the treaty of versailles. There were several apects of the treaty that caused bitterness throughout germany after WW1. These included the 4 main aspects which were the war guilt placed upon germany ( article 2310, reparations (article 232), disarmament of germany and the loss of colonies/territory. Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933 and failed to keep the terms of the treaty between 1933 and 1938 which later lead to the outbreak of war.

The overall aim/concption of the treaty of versailles was to assign germany with enough reparations for the nation to be incapable of rebuilding itself, therefore unable to start another war. This was summarised within article 231, war guilt which stated that germany was given blame for causing the war and had to accept responsibility for all loss, damage and expenses it caused. Germany viewed this as a diktat- a decision forced on a group without consultation.

Another aspect of the treaty of versailles that caused bitterness throughout germany was the disarmament of germany. This term stated that germany was to have no significant airforce and that their navy and army fos to be strictly limited. The country was unable to rebuild its military forces and were forced to reduce the size of their armaments. Germany was to limit their army to a maximum of 100000 soldiers

To summarise the essay I must conclude that in conclusion germany resented the great powers due to the harsh terms of the treaty.
