Yes because the treaty of versilles blamed Germany for the entire war, took away their weapons, & embarassed them. So when Hitler came to power Germany rearmed to create jobs and once again become a miltary power.

Yes, The Treaty of Versailles led to WWII because it left Germany with all of the blame for World war I. With the world wide depression plus the debt from wwI germany is looking for a way for a way out of the debt. When the way out is hitler you get wwII

no i think that the Treaty of Versailles was unfair the the Germany. Beacause Germany had to pay all the war debt for ww1 then they went in to a depression so they could pay back the war money when the country was weak Hitler took over and caused wwII so it was the Treaty of Versailles fault that Germany went in to a depression and let Hitler came to power so the people countrys that made the Treaty of Versailles should have to pay all the war debt of wwII and pay Germany. If they would of mady everone pay that lost ww1 then no one would have to go in to debt and there would never be a wwII. that is why the Treaty of Versailles was bad for the world.

yes and no. yes because it blamed germany for all of ww1 and they had to try and pay for all the war reparations. also it takes 2 opposing sides to have a war so it wasn't fair that germany got blamed. no because when hitler came into power, he was the one who started all the conflicts and genocide with the jews.

the country was in an economic depression because of the treaty of versailles. hitler came along to try and do anything he could to get the country out of the depression and thats what led to ww2

Yes, it was because the Treaty of Versailles put all of the blame on Germany. After the Great Depression, everyone was suffering, but most of all, Germany was. They were still paying debts from WWI, so when Hitler came and said that he could fix all of the problems that plagued them, everyone jumped at the chance. That means that when he suggested rearmament to boost the economy, everyone was more than happy to participate. This violated the Treaty of Vienna, which in turn, led to WWII.

yes because the Treaty of Versailles blamed Germany and many other countries for WWI. It put huge debt on Germany and germany had economic troubles after the Treaty of Versailles. Those economic troubles led to the need for a change in government which led to Hitler coming to power. Hitler coming to power led to WWII.

Yes, because when the other countrys put there blam on Germany it it made them go into debt. Sence they were in debt Hitler came along and helped the economy with making things cheaper, but then he sent the Jews to consintration camps which started WW2. So if they would have never blamed Germany WW2 would have never started which

Technically yes, but in reality no. The treaty of Versailles did make Germany pay war reparations via the War Guilt Clause, but it was not until the Great Depression that Germany started to go under as Inflation and such hit and bread became about 2 billion Marks.

It was only then under these circumstances that Hitler rose to power, promising that could get Germany out of the hole. He did this via rearmament of the military, something he wasn't supposed to do.

Then Hitler went to work fulfilling his promise of a 1000-year Nazi Empire and started invading other nations.

Eventually, Britain said 'no' and the whole train-wreck then started.

It is also good to note that it was Japan who started WWII with their East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.

NO, After the Treaty was signed many countries including the ones that won such as Great Britian, France, and America also entered into a depression. Though Germanys depression was sever the people of Germany were the cause they allowed themselves to be seduced by a facist like Hitler. Also the countries I mentioned before let Hitler get away with what he wanted to Actions speak louder than words. Should of took him out when they had the chance. So NO.

Due to the losses, Germany had a resentment towards the other countries in the treaty. This ultimately led to World War II after Hitler came to power.

Yes, because it ruined germany by taking money, land, and pride. This made hitler to get revenge on everyone who violated his country.

Yes beacuse germany went into a large amount of debt so Hitler tried to turn around the german economy. None of this would have happened if germany was not blammmed for everything.
