Question

Write the main provisions of the treaty of versailles how hitler used it it gain power

Answer 1

The treaty caused turmoil in the new, highly troubled Weimar Republic, but, although Weimar survived into the 1930s, it can be argued that key areas connected with the Treaty contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler.

Versailles was criticized at the time by voices among the victors, including economists such as John Maynard Keynes. Some claimed Versailles simply delayed a resumption of war for a few decades, and when Hitler rose to power in the 1930s and started a second world war, these predictions seemed prescient. In the years after the war, many commentators pointed to the treaty as if not making war inevitable, at least being the key enabling factor. Others praised Versailles and said the connection between the treaty and the Nazis was minor.

Yet Gustav Stresemann, the best-regarded politician of the Weimar era, was constantly trying to counter the terms of the treaty and restore German power.
