WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -On June 28, 1919, on the outskirts of Paris, European dignitaries crowded into the Palace of Versailles to sign one of history’s most hated treaties. Known as the Treaty of Versailles, it formally ended World War I-and at the same time laid the foundation for the Second World War.

Detailed explanation-2: -Between 1941 and 1943, the Palace of Versailles had to adjust to life under the German occupation. Soon after their arrival, the German troops began complaining about the dilapidated state of the palace and demanding the return of its collections, which had been shipped to other châteaux for safekeeping.

Detailed explanation-3: -The terms of the treaty required that Germany pay financial reparations, disarm, lose territory, and give up all of its overseas colonies. It also called for the creation of the League of Nations, an institution that President Woodrow Wilson strongly supported and had originally outlined in his Fourteen Points address.

Detailed explanation-4: -No one in Germany was happy with the settlement, and the Allies threatened Germans with military invasion to get them to sign the treaty. After four years of war and sacrifice, German citizens felt humiliated to accept blame for the war and territorial loss.

Detailed explanation-5: -One of the ways World War One paved the way for World War Two, was the singing of the Treaty of Versailles, which destroyed Germany’s government, and made it easier for Hitler to take over. WW1 also paved the way for WW2 because the Treaty of Versailles led to resentment and instability in Europe.
