The Treaty of Versallies

The treaty of versailles was written in 1919 at the end of World War I. This document restricted Germany in many ways.First thing was that they had to pay reparations to all the countries. Then they could only have a 100,000 men army and could not use submarines and ships were restricted to carrying 10,000 tons of cargo. The major set back was that Germany's land overseas was distrubuted to the other countries and most of the land was given away. This also left about 7 million germans outside the new boarders.
With the high reparation cost Germany fell into depression which then Adolf Hitler came about and tried to overthrow the government. He failed the first time but then after serving nine years in prison came back and got power. Adolf hitler came into power because people wanted a leader to restore them to greatness. His way was that only pure germans should hold the future of germany and nobody else.
I think the historians say the treaty of verrsailles caused this because of the way everything played out. With the harsh punishment it caused the depression. Then when the people started to look for a new hope. This was Hitler came along, then with his confidence he won the people over and then started to kill off the people that opposed him.Then that was when problems started. This is why i think historians say that the treaty caused this
