The Treaty Of Versailles-Fair or Unfair?

The Treaty of Versailles was created to end WWI, but this treaty was specifically harsh on one country, Germany. The different articles that were found in this treaty included Germany taking full responsibilities for the damage to the Allied Powers, Germany surrendering all of their overseas countries and Germany paying for all of the damages caused to the Allied Powers. As you can see, this obviously seems unfair. And I agree with this statement.

One example of why the Treaty Of Versailles seemed unfair to me was because all the blame went to Germany even though it wasn't entirely their fault. According to fact, the United States of America declared war on Germany in April 1917. They had ignored the concerns of this specific conflict because they didn't want to be in the middle of a fight. After they had declared war,

Woodrow Wilson vowed that this would be the 'war to end all wars'. Though Europe had been at war for many years, the United States of America seemed to have made it more public when they declared war.

Another example on why the Treaty Of Versailles seems unfair to me is because after this was signed, Germany was led to a whole lot of failure. They felt betrayed by the treaty, and they will not slack off until they have found justice. This led to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. The Germans expressed their rage on something they thought was an easy target, the Jews. This led to the holocaust. As you can see, this treaty is the head of a cause-and-effect situation.

There are many pros and cons about the Treaty Of Versailles and in this case, the unfairness of the situation was obviously a con. After many years, the results of the Treaty Of Versailles was unsuccessful.
