Question #6836d
1 Answer
They mainly feel that it was unfair. Germany did not actually take part in the conference that decided it- the terms were imposed upon Germany.
Explanation:
The main feeling was that it was unfair, as the conditions were forced upon Germany with threats to go to war again. But here are other reasons:
The Germans hated Clause 231 (which blamed Germany for causing the war), because it was the excuse for all the harsh clauses of the Treaty, and because they thought Russia was to blame for starting the war.
It's military power was GREATLY reduced, and they felt this put them at a very weak point
Germany had to pay £6,600 million ‘reparations’,which Germans felt would destroy their economy
Germany felt a HUGE loss of land- Finally, Germans hated the loss of land. Alsace-Lorraine wwas given back to France, Germany’s colonies were given to France or Britain, huge areas of Germany were given to countries like Poland, and Germany was not allowed to unite with Austria.
