The Treaty of Versailles (Ended WWI)



The Treaty of Versailles affected Germany at the end of World War 1 because it was blamed for the entire War. Germany was greatly affected, because they were forced to pay allies.In addition, Germany lost 10% of there lands. All of their colonies were taken away and they divided them between allies. 12.5% of Germany's population were leaving outside of the new Germany borders. The Treaty of Versailles made life very difficult, so that they could pay the allies, they had to borrow a lot of money America in order to pay its war debt to England and France. On the other, The United States had a great depression and were no able to lend Germany any more money. With the problem thatgermany did not have any finical help from the United States, they were unable to pay war reparations to England and France. German people we angry because according to them The Treaty of Versailles was unfair and their money was worthless.
