The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)
the treaty of versailles was mad to punish the germans for what happened in world war 1. Germany was blamed for what happened in that war . the germans had to pay millions of dollars to other countrys for the war so this means that they had to start printing more money. the countrys that were getting money from germany had lowered the value of the money. so because of that it made alot of problems for germanys economy. they also had to give up some of there land and also everything they had at sea. the germans wanted some one to make them stronger again . then that is when hitler came in. he wanted to gain back what was taken from them.there for hitler was a new leader and the germans got behind him. then that is when world war 2 began.
