Introduction to the Treaty of Versailles and Its Impact on Germany

The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, formally ended World War I. It imposed severe terms on Germany, including territorial losses, military restrictions, and heavy reparations. Many Germans viewed the treaty as a humiliating diktat that worsened their economic and political stability.

Source A: Excerpt from German newspaper, 1919

'The treaty is a betrayal of our nation. It strips us of our land, weakens our military, and burdens us with impossible reparations. Our country is humiliated and broken.'

Source B: Statement by a German politician, 1920

'The treaty has devastated Germany's economy and caused widespread suffering. It has also created fertile ground for extremist movements.'
