a) 1. The Treaty of Versailles: Following World War I, the victorious Allied Powers met to
decide Germany’s future. Germany would be forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles.
Germany had to accept guilt for the war and to pay reparations. Germany lost territory
and was prohibited from having a large military. It is not surprising, therefore, that
Germans thought the Treaty at Versailles was a diktat imposed on them and they had no
respect or responsibility for it..
2. Failure of the League of Nations: The Treaty of Versailles also set up the League
of Nations to prevent wars in the future. Russia, Germany, and USA could
not become a member. It was intended that all countries would be members and that if
there were disputes between countries, they could be settled by negotiation rather than
by force. Not all countries joined the league and the League had no army to prevent
military aggression such as Italy’s invasion of Ethiopia in Africa or Japan’s invasion of
Manchuria in China.
