A

Source Analysis: Impact of the Treaty of Versailles on Germany

Source A: German Perspective on the Treaty of Versailles

"The Treaty of Versailles was a humiliating and unfair peace that punished Germany severely. It demanded enormous reparations, limited our military, and stripped us of important territories. This treaty not only crippled our economy but also damaged our national pride. Many Germans felt betrayed and angry, believing the treaty was a betrayal of justice and national honour. The harsh terms created a sense of injustice that fueled resentment and hatred toward the Allies. It seemed to sow the seeds for future conflict and instability within our nation." Provenance: Statement by Friedrich Müller, a German politician, 1920, newspaper editorial.
