The treaty of Versaille was imposed on Germany by the Allied Powers in 1919 after the end of World War 1 which demanded reparations from Germans to ensure that another fatal war wouldn’t happen again. The Treaty of Versailles led to the start of WW2 just over two decades because of how harshly it treated Germany and how furious the Germans were about this. Hitler suggests Germans to respond to the Treaty of Versailles with violence. In document B, Hitler uses the words,” … No nation can remove this hand from its throat except by sword.…
After the long and deadly First World War, of which the U.S. had been embroiled in for over a year, people were finally ready for their soldiers to come home. Some were even ready for peace. However, many Europeans had lost everything in the war and were not ready for peace. They were ready for revenge. The Treaty of Versailles reflected those sentiments. Internationally, the battle over the terms of the Treaty of Versailles was between those, such as Woodrow Wilson, who wanted a “peace without victory” and those who wanted to punish Germany for starting the war. At home in America, the battle over the treaty was quite different. It was a bitter dispute with no resolution, but many unintended consequences. The failure of the U.S. government to ratify the Treaty of Versailles and join the League of Nations resulted in American isolationism and a lack of oversight in Germany, both of which were contributing factors to the beginning of the Second World War.…
The Treaty of Versailles took important land away from Germany, Reduced Germany’s military significantly, made Germany pay all the war reparations alone, and the treaty put all the blame of the war on Germany. Germany was being punished harshly and severely, and as Hitler came into power he turned the German people against the Treaty of Versailles and they eventually fought back. The Treaty of Versailles helped cause World War II by punishing Germany to the severity that they…
The Treaty of Versailles marked the end of World War I in 1919. Germany and their allies were blamed for WWI. Because Germany was blamed for sparking the war, they had their military restricted to 100,000 men, had to pay reparations, lost their Pacific and African colonies, and the Rhineland was turned into a demilitarized zone. In the 1920s, Adolf Hitler became the leader of the Nazi Party in Germany and began rising in power. He became the Fuhrer in 1934.…
The Treaty of Versailles included Woodrow Wilson’sfourteen points and a set of points that Germany had to abide to at all times.These rules stated that Germany had to take full blame for starting the war,had to pay for all of the damage stated by the war, had to reduce Germany’sarmy to a hundred thousand men with no air force. Germany also lost anabundance of land due to this treaty such as Alsace Lorraine, Malmedy, andNorth Schleswig. This was the cause that soon ignited Germany into beginningWorld War II. A man in Germany known as Hitler began to claim that he couldchange everything. He provided a new form of government and leadership thatwould lead Germany to the victory they deserved from World War I and turn thetables around to their favor. The war itself first began on September of 1939when Hitler invaded Poland which broke the Treaty of Versailles. By 1940,Germany had defeated French and British forces in France and had taken fulloccupation of France. Japan formed an alliance with Germany and on December 7th1941, Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and bordering islands in the United…
Germany’s violence early on in the war caused the United States to enter the war on the Allies side. President Wilson had tried to mediate between the two alliances but Germany did not accept this proposal. The Treaty of Versailles was fair to Germany because they ignored Wilson’s Call for Peace and Germany’s violent tactics called a need for the treaty to be made in order to end World War I. President Wilson did not want the United States to enter World War I when it initially started because it was hardly affecting the United States. Germany began to bully Europe and this was hurting trade that America made with Great Britain and France.…
The World War II use propaganda to unite the country. They tried it once with World War I, but unfortunately it didn't work how it was meant to be. After World War II the United States seen growth, and became more united than ever. The people of the United States didn't agree with us fighting the war. Once the pearl harbor attack hit we had no choice but to retaliate.…
President Wilson’s main goal before the start of World War I was to not get involved. Practicing isolationism was a difficult task to follow through with though. Intercepting the Zimmerman Telegram from the Germans to the Mexican government changes the perspective of entering into the war. President Wilson’s “He Kept Us Out Of The War” campaign slogan quickly went out the window. Before America just entered into the war, Wilson wanted to make sure he had majority support from the American people. In order to obtain this support, Wilson initiated the use of propaganda into American every day life. The propaganda was meant to get people behind the war, get people to support the war, and also get the people to participate in the war effort. Two posters from the fifth chapter in Discovering The American Past Volume II (7th Edition), that seemed most effective were the “Spies and Lies”…
The Treaty of Versailles after World War I sought unnecessarily harsh demands on an already crippled Germany and ultimately led to the breakdown of the Treaty and peace in Europe.…
The Treaty of Versailles aided in the outbreak of World War II because it left Germany weak, unstable, and open to fascist rulers taking over. It was the peace settlement signed after World War I between the Allies and the Germans. The countries that lost World War I (Germany, Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, and Turkey) were especially dissatisfied with the treaty. However, the treaty was received very badly within Germany. The nation had been blamed entirely for WWI and had been forced to pay compensation to the allies under the war guilt clause of the treaty. Under the Treaty of Versailles, Germany was severely punished with huge war reparations, territorial losses, and strict limits on its rights to develop militarily. These unfair restrictions not only created political discontent and economic chaos in Germany, but bitter resentment towards the victors of the First World War. The German people felt that they had never been truly defeated in battle since the country had never been conquered. It helped put Germany into a huge depression. People were dissatisfied with the government and voted to power a ruler named Adolf Hitler who promised to rip up the Treaty of Versailles.…
War propaganda as a mass communication tool has been used to influence others since ancient times. Since the written word has been in existence, it has been in our human nature to try to influence others and try to gear them into thinking the same way that another person does. America is a relatively young nation, however the use of war propaganda has been used to sway opinions in every war we have been involved in. The use of propaganda for recruiting military personnel can most evidently be seen during the Civil War and the World Wars, and continues to be used during war in modern times as well; these mass communication messages have changed to messages that are used in these campaigns and influence how Americans feel about those consecutive wars.…
This involved the Germans having to pay large sums of to the allies, demilitarisation and, lost of territory. This led to resentment towards the German government by its peoples. This resentment and the dislike of the treaty was used by Adolf Hitler and his Nazi party to win the 1933 German elections. He exploited the German peoples want to right the wrongs of the first world war and, make Germany the great country it once was. he did this by rebuilding the german army and invading the neighbouring…
After the war, all powers met in France and discussed the treaty of versailles and all allied powers except the U.S. made Germany sign the document and admit that the war was entirely their fault. They hoped it would keep Germany from starting another war but in reality it sparked them to get revenge.…
World War II was one of the most monumental events in history and certainly was one of the most important events in the 20th century. The bombing of Pearl Harbor was the event that brought the United States fully into the war. In war, there is killing, violence, and hate all mixed in. Thoughts and emotions come to play. War is no longer only between soldiers on a battlefield but is now between nations and their ideas. In order to make a whole nation of people support a war there needs to be an influence. That influence is propaganda.…

The treaty was forced on Germany, in doing so they had to accept sole responsibility for starting the war. And that they had to pay for all the damages, decrease their military and surrender territory. With Germany unable to pay for the war and the hardship that it was putting on the people. The people wanted a change. Hitler and his Nazi party were quickly voted in. With his promise to recreate Germany and get its territory back. Hitler was able to created jobs by rearming the military and producing war equipment. By 1939 Hitler was ready to take back what was Germanys.…
