Explanation:
Treaty of Versailles, peace document signed at the end of World War I by the Allied and associated powers and by Germany in the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, France, on June 28, 1919; it took force on January 10, 1920.When the German government asked U.S. Pres. Woodrow Wilson to arrange a general armistice in October 1918, it declared that it accepted the Fourteen Points he had formulated as the basis for a just peace. However, the Allies demanded “compensation by Germany for all damage done to the civilian population of the Allies and their property by the aggression of Germany by land, by sea and from the air.” Further, the nine points covering new territorial consignments were complicated by the secret treaties that England, France, and Italy had made with Greece, Romania, and each other during the last years of the war.
After the Treaty was signed (reluctantly) by the German government, terrorists assassinated several government officials they held responsible for it.
The other treaties signed with the losing Central Powers were also harsh, ending their empires.
The extreme effects of the Treaty on Germany led to the Dolchstosslegende (stab-in-the-back legend) which worked in favor of the Nazi Party.The Treaty's required reparations amplified the state of Europe's economy in Germany, causing hyperinflation.
The French insisted on the Treaty being harsh out of fear of Germany instigating another war.
