The world war one serverly damaged several countries included Germany, at the end the
treaty of Versalles was written up for every countries to sign. There were a total of 440 clauses
in the final treaty, and 414 clauses spelled out Germany's punishment (Document8a.) ,Germany
was accused of being the only cause of the war. They had expected all the treaty even they are
disadvantageous. The treaty of Versailles wasnt fair for Germany because the war was occurring
and damaged was the fault of every country that joined, German also lost a lot of peoples and
damage during the war, and German was forced to sign this treatly by their enemy.
For the first reason, focused on the cause of the war, before the world war one was
occurring there were Imperialism, Nationalism, Militarism, and systems of alliances spread out
in many countries in Europe including all the countries that joined in this war. In many countries,
there built up the armies, collected staffs, and also prepared their people to cope when they were
flighting. As the document 1 refered that The armies of both France and Germany had more
than doubled between 1870 and 1914. In both sides, they had to increase their armies as much
as they could to fight with the enermy side. Which indicated that they were ready for the war
every time and wanted to declare war with other countries to make them increased their power.
German was only one country that joined the war for the same reason as others countries, and
they were not the first country to start the war, but why German had to be the only country that
blamed to responsecarry the full responsibility of the war which every country were made and
decided to join by themselves. The problems and damage from the war was the fault of every
country, not only one so the responsibility should be divided fairly by the reason and the ways
they did. On this treaty the Triple ententes side, who won the war, blamed all responsibility to
their enemies, which German and their side was adverse on the treaty.
Another reason is German also lost a lot of people and damage during the war. In the war,
every country had to check for damage of their country, and when they know that they get lost
huge damage they would normally indignant and accused of their enemy. France too, From the
statistics in Document 6a, they might resent Germany that they were losing 1,357,800 people
thats a lot of their inhabitants. In the other hand, German lost their people around 30 percent
more than France, which high up to 1,773,700 people, and German was also the country that lost
highest number of deaths during the war, and also 4,216,058 soldiers wounded by the attachment
of their enemy. According to the document 8a, the treaty of Versallies, German had to pay 6,600
million for the damage causes of the war. But in Germany, they didnt get returned for the
damages from another side at all. In this war every country lost a huge armies and assets,
including Germany, So why German had to respond to the war while they didnt get one?
The last reason is German, was forced to sign the greatly by the way they didnt accept
with. The document 7a told that France, United states, Great Britain, and Russia were forced
German to sign this document, and then they couldnt oppose because they didnt have enough
power as their enemy side was as they were losers, moreover the document 7a also said that The
Germans were not invited to the Paris Conference and had no say in the making of the peace
treaty. The entente alliances side was doing everything to seize power of Germany, the German
forced to returned every country that theyhave taken during the war and give up Alsace Lorrajne.
And toreduce the power of the Germans army, Document 8a told that German had reduced
100,000 soldiers, Could had only 6 ships, no tank, submarine, and air force were allowed. So
German would have less power than others country and cannot be defended. Even German
known that this treaty wasnt fair, but they were no choicesfor defense and they were forced to
accept all the points.
In conclusion, Its not fair that The treaty at Varsaillies forced Germany to be only cause
because all countries should be fairly responses the results that they decided, even other
countries lost people and assets but German also damaged and lost a huge amount too, and it's
not fair because they were forced German to be the only victim who caused the war. Germany
was one of the country that damaged in the war as same as others, and it wouldnt be happen if
every country decided to avoid the violences. In addition they wanted to increase their power
through out the war, and that caused the bad effect then. They should be accepted and responded
to the results of their decision, not to put the Blame on one country to accept all responsibility.
