Treaty Of Versailles


Germany was really affected by the end of World War I, at then end of the war, France built a treaty called the Treaty Of Versailles. This treaty was a peace treaty that ended World War I, that stated that Germany must accept responsibility for causing the war, and had to pay for the damages, and this left Germany without money and a depression in Germany. Germany was suppose to pay France and Britain, lost a lot of military power and were forbidden to use large ships. After 10 years, Adolf Hitler tried to overthrow the German government, and was placed in jail for 9 months, but he wrote about how Germany is to blame for it's weak government and made speeches that caught the people's attention, and blamed outsiders from Germany and blamed the Jews.
