The Treaty of Versailles (Ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I by blaming Germany for the whole war. It also forced Germany to pay compensation for the war. 10% of German lands were given away and all of its over sea colonies were lost. Germanys army was taken away so they felt embarrassed and insecure about their in ability to defend themselves. Germany was also forbidden to build large ships.
Germany's land was turned into Poland and Alcase Lorraine. Austria-hungary's land was turned into Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, more of Romania, and Czechoslovakia. The Ottoman empire turned into Turkey, Syria, Palestine, Trans Jordan, and Iraq.
Germany had to borrow money from the U.S. to pay Britain and France. Then U.S. went through an economic depression in 1929 and couldn't give Germany any more money so the German people thought a great leader could return their nation to greatness. Hitler tried to over throw the governtment but failed and was thrown in prison. He spoke in a charasmitic style that impressed the German people. He said that pure Germans could control the destiny of Germany and return it to greatness. He blamed most of Germany's problems on the Jews.
