====================================

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.


Germany was regarded with the guilty of aggression and following were Germany's territorial loses under the treaty of Versailles -

• 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.


Apart from these, there were many more humiliating terms of the treaty of Versailles.

• 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.
