My View on The Treaty of Varsailles

I do not think that the Treaty of Versailles was fair to the German people. The treaty blamed them for the cause of the war. In my opinion, I don not feel that the war was all Germany's fault. The German people had a right to be upset and to hate the Treaty. They especially hated Act 21 of the Treaty because it blamed Germany for the cause of war, and it was the excuse for all the harsh clauses of the Treaty. Initially, Germany felt that Russia was to blame for the cause of WWI. The Treaty of Versailles was made to satisfy no one, and it was very harsh on the German people. Reparations was involved in which the German people had to pay 338 billion dollars for the cause of the war. I feel that this is terrible because these people would suffer terribly. This was shown because the after affects of the war included, starvation, poverty, and severe economic problems. In all, The treaty created bitterness, hatred, and outrage in the German people, and was over all unfair!
