The Treaty of Versailles (ended WWI)

The Treaty of Versailles affected Germany because the winning side of the war, put the entire blame on Germany. Land was taken away from Germany, and also all of their colonies. After all that, they even piled up a whole bunch of fines on Germany, but Germany didnt have any money to pay it because all of its colonies were taken away, and they couldnt produce and sell natural resources.

I think that this treaty was unfair because they put the whole blame on Germany. The cause of the war wasn't because of Germany and the Allies put all of the blame on the Germans. The treaty destroyed Germany's economy, causing an huge depression. They were barely able to keep up payments and had to borrow money from America. Everything in Germany was inflated and German money was almost worthless.
