Great suffering in the conditions of political and economical crises was a result of the Treaty of Versailles, signed after the First World War between the Allied Powers and Germany.
This was evidenced by Germany’s humiliating conditions that included Babylonian, reparations payment, severe territorial losses and limitation on her military)을과 by the severity of the treaty, which forced severe economic penalty on Germany through extensive reparations payments, most of which it could not afford due to loss of many of its territories. This paved way for extremists such as the Nazis with their assertion to restore a previously glorious Germany and their /our economy.
The treaty also has effect on the political structure of Europe. It contributed to over throwing of the German monarchy and the Weimar Republic came into power, a weak and vulnerable government it could not cope with the internal issues of Germany. This led to deficit of political culture or political vacuum within the region which was suddenly filled by right wing people like the Nazis.
Moreover, the treaty failed to contain the root of conflict and disagreement among the varied European state powers on expansion of aggressiveness of nationalism and militarism. These arguments originate at the roots of territorial disputes with the additional factor of a desire for vengance which was motivation for Hitler and Mussolini.
Hence, all in all, concluding that the chief aim of the treaty was to prevent subsequent war-making but the treaty of Versailles led to the second world war. Shortening of terms of war, economic crisis, and political upturn facilitated the blossoming of the totalitarian regimes and ultimately a world war.
