‘The Treaty of Versailles Was Unfair for Germany’
The treaty of Versailles was a treaty made upon the surrender of Germany in the WW1. This treaty was made to stop another war happening again. The treaty was made by the France, Britain and USA. In my opinion, I agree that the treaty of Versailles was unfair for Germany. I have made a few points considering the both sides whether the treaty is unfair or unfair for Germany
Fair
Treaty of Brest-Litovsk When Russia lost the war against Germany, Germany forced Russia to sign the treaty of Bvest-Litovsk. In the treaty of Brest-Litovsk, Germany did not think about how Russian civilians would think and treated Russia harshly. Now, that Germany lost the war, and they have to signed the treaty of Versailles they complained that the treaty was too harsh for them.
The armistice signed by Germany
When Germany surrendered , they signed the armistice. When they signed the armistice, they had been told about the probability of the reparation, loss of territory and reduced army forces and they signed it. They knew about it and they signed it even though those were just probabilities, they knew that those might happen, so if they thought that the treaty of Versailles unfair they should not have signed the armistice and carry on fighting.
Alsasce and Lorraine Alsasace and Lorraine were lands taken from France when France lost the war in 1871. Germany thought it was unfair to take Alsasce and Lorraine because they had taken it from France before but, the people in Alsasce and Lorraine mainly show them as French not Germans and speak French not German. It was not wrong to take Alsasce and Lorraine because it was originally part of France.
The impact of reparation on Germany economy Germany said that the reparation hurt them but actually Germany economy recovered quickly and by 1925, Germany produced more steel
