Which meant all the blame will be pointed at Germany for loosing the war. Doc. C states, “Germany undertakes, that she will make compensation for all damage done...”. Which means that Germans were required to pay for all the damage cause by the war. It shows that because Germany lost the war they had to take responsibility and pay for all the mess they made. Which made the Germans feel disgraced and humiliated. - Ivana J. ]]> 2018-02-28 22:19:18 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/236703944 Territorial Losses https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/236753239 Germany lost 13% of its land, containing approx 6 million people.

First of all is the German territorial losses. Germany would have still loss some territory, but it would be kept to a minimum. As for the reduction of troop levels, the demilitarized zone is great but Germany be left with at least enough troops as to not feel inferior to her surrounding countries.

First the territorial loss could be kept, but minimized to keep from taking away too much. Second, the troop reduction could not have happened at all because troops in every nation are needed, taking that away takes away some of the nations own pride in their power. Third, The was reparations could have been smaller although it is needed because of all the damage done to each nation. Finally, the war guilt clause is justifiable because they did start a war the would soon lead to the beginning of world war 1 by getting allies of the place they waged war on to turn on them until it continues. ]]> 2018-03-01 21:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/237208143 Oscar.

First, German Territorial Losses if Germany was allowed to keep some of the land that was taken from them then WW2 might have been prevented.Second, Every country should have some kind of military when Germany military was reduced the soldiers felt they had no power while other countries do have.Third Harsh Payments, The German felt like this was not necessary to pay.If Hitler didn't stopped the repayments WW2 would have been avoided. Lastly War Guilt Clause, Germany felt humiliated about the treaty of Versailles but when Hitler came in he gave them a sense of pride and respect, If Hitler didn't step in then the War Guilt Clause would have been avoided as well as Harsh Reparations. ]]> 2018-03-01 22:00:53 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/237208989 https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/237209288 The Versailles treaty could have guaranteed independence to avoid future conflicts.]]> 2018-03-01 22:02:19 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/237209288 anjolina.s https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/237214479 2018-03-01 22:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/237214479 Kayla K https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/237623481 Germany lost a lot of colonies and territories ]]> 2018-03-02 21:44:00 UTC https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/237623481 Isabella Attaei https://padlet.com/tcarter17/dj1b9e88m6in/wish/238369144 The Treaty of Versailles led to WW11 because of how harshly it treated Germany and how angry Germans were.
