Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: Japan was upset with the Treaty of Versailles because it did not gain all the territory it wanted; it also did not receive the respect of an equal nation at the negotiations and afterwards.
Detailed explanation-2: -It is widely agreed that the Treaty of Versailles failed because it was filled with harsh punishment and unrealistic expectations of massive reparations payments and demilitarization imposed on Germany for its wrongdoing.
