Structured Essay Questions
Explain why the Germans found the Treaty of Versailles to be unfair. One of the reasons the Germans found the Treaty of Versailles unfair was because they were forced into signing the treaty which put total blame onto them. One of the terms of the treaty was the War Guilt Clause which stated that Germany had to accept full blame for causing World War 1. This formed the basis for other harsh terms such as territorial losses and huge reparations. Hence, the Germans found this unfair because they were not the only aggressor of World War 1 and were not the only one involved in the war. They did not feel that they deserved full blame but were humiliated into accepting it.
