Answer 2

The War Guilt Clause was an article of the Treaty of Versailles that essentially dumped the blame for the entire First World War on Germany's doorstep. The idea was to make Germany pay for 24 million lives and the destruction it wrought across all of Europe. It led to the rise of the NSDAP (Nazi Party).Feb 8, 2018
