Revengeful allies laid the base for WW II
The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, was the agreement which officially ended First World War and in many ways it was mistake that sow the seeds of Second World War. The contents in the agreement were so lopsided against Germany that it created wave of resentment in Germans. Victorious nations forced Germany, the loser, to pay $33billion to allied powers. It had to give its provinces of Alsace and Lorraine to France. Great Britain had pie on many colonies of Africans to Great Britain. If this was not enough, the Rhineland Province of Germany was completely demilitarised. This led to a disgrace of a nation and its people. Germany protested that the treaty was unfair and unjustified, but it was forced to sign on it.
It was a great blunder on the part of allied powers in the sense that their acts did not punish the rulers, but inflicted misery on the innocent people of Germany. It seemed that allied powers were merely interested in increasing the territory and military might and were not interested in principal aspects of treaty. When Hitler stood against the unfair treaty; people rallied around him. In direct contravention of this treaty, Hitler sent the German army into the Rhineland in 1936. In many ways, Hitler, in order to test the patience of great powers particularly Great Britain and France that humiliated Germany after First World War sowed the seeds of revenge.
