ALL OF THE ANSWERS ARE CORRECT
|
Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Ultimately the European Allies imposed a harsh treaty by forcing Germany to surrender all of its overseas colonies and 10 % of its land. Other aspects of the treaty are as follows: Germany would limit the size of its army and navy and was not allowed to maintain an air force.
Detailed explanation-3: -The peace treaty at Versailles with the Allies was considered as harsh and humiliating because of the following reasons: Germany lost its overseas colonies, 110th of its population, 13% of its territories, 75% of its iron and 26% of its coal to France, Poland, Denmark and Lithuania.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are 15 parts and 440 articles in the treaty. The United States was not a signatory. The now infamous “war guilt clause” (Article 231) did not blame Germany for causing World War I. Several countries threatened not to sign the treaty. More items •28-Jun-2019
