Question

give two reasons why the German felt humiliated because of Treaty of Versailles

Answer 1

!. It was humiliating because the Germans were not invited to the making of the treaty. They were forced to sign it and the Weimar government did not have a choice.

2. Their land was taken away from them. This was embarrassing because when a country has a huge land, they feel like they have a lot of power. By taking their land away, you are taking away their power. Some of the land was given to French, their old enemy, which was embarrassing.

This lost land had important raw materials such as coal. The coal industry was one of Germany’s strongest source of income/revenue and that was taken away. The German troops were not allowed in the Rhineland to make the French feel safe from invasion. They also, lost overseas colonies, which made them powerless.

3. German army was reduced to 100.000 men. They were not allowed to have airforce, tanks and they only had 6 battleships and 15,000 sailors. In comparison to their enemies, this was nothing.

Answer 2

It is a short but effective 5 points :

The treaty of Versailles was a humiliating experience for Germany because:-

1. Germany lost its overseas colonies.
2. Germany lost tenth of its population, 13 percent of it’s territories, 75 percent of its iron and 26 percent of its coal to France, Poland, Denmark and Lithuania.
3. The allied powers demilitarized Germany to weaken its power.
4. The war guilt cause held Germany responsible for war and forced to pay compensation
amounting to $6 billion.
5. The allied armies also occupied the resource rich Rhineland for much of the 1920’s
Many Germans held the new Weimar republic responsible for not only the defeat but the
disgrace at Versailles.
