1. The War Guilt clause:
This put the blame squarely on the Germans and their allies for starting the war.
2. Excessive reparation payments:
The initial sum charged was set at 132bn marks in gold. A sum that Germany had no means to pay back and especially not at a time when it was trying to rebuild its economy after the war. At the time of Versailles many economists, including John Maynard Keynes pointed out the absurdity of charging so much - the result he predicted would be a deep recession, massive inflation and that would make it harder to make the payments. He was right.
3. The German Armed forces were severely limited in size and the type of armaments that they could own. The German armed forces were limited to 100,000 men the navy was limited to 15,000 men, six battleships, six cruisers etc.
4. The Rhineland - the area of land inside Germany that bordered the Rhine river which marked the demarcation between France and Germany, was de-militarised.

Hey Friend, Here's Your Answer
The Treaty Of Versailles is considered very harsh & humiliating Towards Germany
Because They Were Treated as War Guilty.
And They had to pay €6Billion As War Compassionate.
They were also required to give their Resource Rich Rhineland To Allied Powers
They Were Required To Give Up All These as well as give Poland To the Allied Powers.
The Military Power was also Controlled a lot !
Germany, Soldiers were also seized, Germany Powers Were Limited a lot
So That Germany won't be able to have a war again!
The Recent Democratic Government was forced to sign this treaty.
Hence, In Germany People were not at all satisfied by democracy.
Which Gave A Way Rise for Hitler
Thanks
