Versailles' Do you agree? Pls help!? This is for my History homework and I would really appreciate some extra thoughts. Thanks!
 
I partially agree. They did not like the treaty because they were heavily restricted military wise. They could not have a military larger than 100,000 people, no armed aircraft or tanks, navy was limited, ships were limited, etc. But they also did not like the treaty because it demanded them to pay war reparations to Britain, France, and Russia. They also did not like the treaty because they lost a substantial amount of territory that they gained during the war.
 
Partly becuase of the military restrictions, army, and navy ( mostly army) were very important to the german's. Without this they felt weak.
They hated the treaty because they felt betrayed " stabbed in the back" by the german's who signed this treaty, therefore many germans turned against the weimar republic. Also germany lost 10% of their own land, and becuase they couldn't pay the money they owed, france invaded the ruhr area.
