The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW1)

The Treaty if Versailles was a piece of paper that Germany had to sign because they lost WW1. It said that the war was all Germany's fault, and that they must pay for all the damage caused. They also lost a lot of the land they also had gotten from the war. They owed so much for the war that there currency was almost worthless. Germany also had to shrink their army to around 100,000 soldiers. Their economy was so terrible that they had to carry a huge bucket of money just to buy 1 loaf of bread because of the very high taxes. I think that it wasn't fair for Germany because they weren't the only country that caused damage in the war. All the countries involved in the war should have helped repair the damage caused in the war, not just Germany. I think the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph Hitler because since Germany's economy was weak. they needed someone strong to rise into power into Germany to make the country strong again So that is how Hitler and Fascism came to power.
