The Treaty Of Versailles (ended WWI)

The Treaty of Versailles ended WW1. It was signed at the palace of Versailles in France. The winning side which included the French, British and Americans made this treaty to punish Germany and blame the Germans for everything. This treaty forced Germany to give up any thing it had. Its colonies were seized by the British and French. This treaty forced Germany into a recession. This led to Fascism and the rise of Adolf Hitler. Hitler provided the people of Russia the one thing that the needed, revenge. He started building the military, which was unauthorized by the treaty. Hitler provided the people of Germany with what they wanted, they wanted to hurt the people that made them lose everything. I believe what they did was fair because Germany had been very reckless with their military and other rights, and also abused their power to build up their military and start wars, so I believe to a certain point that the treaty was fair.
