How did the treaty of Versailles contribute to WWII?
The harsh terms of the Treaty, such as the reparations that Germany had to pay to the Allies, prevented the German economy from recovering. (money had to be paid out in reparations). This lead to the inability of the Wiemar Republic to make living conditions and economic level of Germany good for the people. This unhappiness gave Hitler an opening and he built on it, claiming he would restore Germany’s economy and position in the world.
