====================================
The First World War was fought between the Triple Alliance or the Axis powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Italy) and the Triple Entente or the Allied powers (Russia, France and Great Britain). The Triple Entente won this war and Triple Alliance wer defeated. After the defeat of Germany in the First World War, the "Treaty of Versailles" was signed between the Triple Entente and Germany on the 28th of June, 1919.
• The treaty of Versailles was extremely humiliating for the German nation and its people. Following were some of the terms of the cruel Treaty of Versailles -
• Germany was regarded with the guilty of aggression.
• Alsace-Lorraine was taken away by France.
• The Ruhr valley and the Saar coal mines were also taken away by France.
• The Allies also occupied the resource-rich areas of Rhineland.
• Germany also lost around 75% of its iron producing territories.
• Even the German colonies were taken away and distributed among the victorious powers.
• Germany had to pay around £ 6 billion as reparation or damages to the victorious powers.
• The entire German nation was demilitarised and the Germans were not allowed to have more than 1,00,000 soldiers.
• Germany was also not allowed any navy or age force.
Thus, the treaty of Versailles was heavily punishing and robbed off Germany not only geographically but also financially and militarily.
This invoked anger in the Germans and was the most important factor leading to the Rise of Hitler. Thus, the treaty of Versailles, in a way, "sowed the seeds of the Second world war.

The Treaty of Versailles was a harsh and humiliating on Germany.
Germany had lost the WWI. It was forced to sign the treaty.
It was harsh due to following reasons -
> With 13% of its territories lost, one-tenth of population was taken away from Germany.
> 75% of iron ore and 26% of coal deposits were taken away.
> It was demilitarized by the winning power of WWI.
> Although there were other countries, the war guilt cause held Germany as the responsible country for causing a lot of damage in the war, as a result it was forced to pay a large compensation.
> Resource-rich Rhineland was occupied by Allied Powers.
