Question

How did the treaty of Versailles facilitated the rise of Hitler ?

Answer 1

In the end, the establishment of the Treaty of Versailles ends up representing one of the saddest chapters in European History.  A treaty that was designed to end all wars actually ended up setting the stage for the worst one that the world has ever seen.  

Hitler was able to point to how "outsiders" sought to destroy Germany.  This became one of his main parts to his platform in gaining power.  Hitler made the point that the greatness and strength of Germany was being weakened by forces from the outside who wanted nothing more than to reduce the formerly strong nation to ruins.  The downfall of Germany perpetrated by outsiders was something he argued that was in evidence through the Treaty of Versailles.  Hitler pointed out that many of the provisions in it were specifically designed to weaken Germany not out of a lasting peace, but out of vengeful retribution.  Hitler made the point that the reappropriation of land, the heavy retributions, the forbidding of arms and business ownership, and the manner in which the Treaty was jammed down the German people's throats all represented points that were antithetical to the approach of "peace."  This resentment was vital for Hitler's success.  

Hitler was able to gain a foothold in German society and government in being able to capitalize on the resentment and frustration that the Treaty instilled in the German people.  Hitler willingly became the outlet for the German people through which they could voice their discontent, so much of it at the Treaty of Versailles.  As the Allied forces began to negotiate with Hitler through the policy of appeasement, it seemed to the German people that Hitler was right with so many of his points, thereby increasing Hitler's claims to power through his critique of the Treaty of Versailles.
