Answers
- Germany was blamed for causing World War I.
- They resented the reparations Germany had to pay.
The above two reasons besides others made German leaders unhappy after signing the treaty of Versailles. Germany was made responsible for the damages caused by the war and was asked to pay reparations in $ billions. So it was a humiliating treaty for Germany which set the stage for Hitler to emerge as a fascist leader.
Options B and C, Germany was blamed for causing World War I, and they resented the reparations Germany had to pay, are the right answers.
Signed on 28 June 1919 in Versailles, The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty that put an end to World War I. This treaty according to Germans was forced on them because the treaty deemed Germany the attacker in the war and as a result, made Germany accountable for giving reparations to the Allied countries in retaliation for the damages and destruction they had given in the war. Therefore, this treaty was taken as a humiliating treaty by the Germans.
