The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)
The Treaty of Versailles was the document that ended the war. This document consisted of the demands that needed to be meet by the losing side(Germany). This treaty was one of the causes of WWII. This treaty was unfair to the losing side. This document restricted the military forces and divided up land that was loss in the war. No more than a hundred thousand troops and 6 navel battleships. All the damage done to the allied power was to be paid for by the Germans. This giant debt cause Germany to go to a big depression. The treaty of Versailles was very unfair to the losing side. All the restrictions led to many damages inside the German people. This led to an uprising in the people. The people searched for a new leader to rid Germany of its hardships. Hitler arose for this cause. As people saw him as a leader the world saw him as a threat.
