The Treaty of Versailles(ended WWI)

The Treaty Of Versailles was a peace treaty that ended World War I. It was signed on June 28, 1919 by Germany and Allied powers at the Palace of Versailles. The treaty deprived Germany of 13.5 % of territory and all of it's oversea possesion. The Germany was now limited to 100,000 men, and banned against the use of heavy artillery, gas, tanks and aircraft. The treaty led to a situation when the German people felt let down, and wanted to blame someone. The treaty also led to economical problems. There was a lack of food and job opportunities. This increased the anger the Germans had inside them. In 19 23, Adolf Hiter attempted to take over the German government. He was unsuccesful, and was sent to jail for nine months. Hitler blamed Germany because of their weak governement. He spoke in a charismatic style that impresses the German citizens. He blamed outsiders for the cause of the Germans weak army. He placed the blame on one race "The Jews". by January 1933, Hilter and his nazi party controlled the German government. Hitler became dicator and had complete control. People who opposed him were often murdered.
