Impact on Germany
The Treaty had several negative impacts on Germany being physically, financially, and politically. It took away Germany's territories which altered the geography of Europe, and the allies also took away Germany's overseas colonies. Financially Germany suffered tremendously. They were held accountable for all war damages done meaning that they would be responsible for monthly reparations. Because the Allies took away their overseas territories, Germany lost raw materials. Politically Germany also suffered. The German government refused to sign the treaty so they were forced to resign and the incoming government was forced to sign it which caused them to lose the German people's trust. The Germans stopped supporting their government and had uprisings such as Kapp Putsch, and Munich Putsch. The treaty also Isolated Germany.
Aftermath
President Wilson had an Idea to end war for all time after WW2. He called it the 14 points, one of the points was the League of Nations. It could have been powerful but the United States Refused to join and the 14 points became unsuccessful. The Germans were put through countless hardships because of the treaty. When America went into their depression they couldn't afford to give loans to Germany for the reparations causing Germany to go into a depression. This led to the rise of Hitler. In 1923 he tried to overthrow the government but he failed and was sent to prison for 9 months. During this time he wrote Mein Kampf a novel meaning 'my struggle'. He suggested easy solutions to Germany's problems and blamed the government, outsiders, and Jews. He said Germany would return if it was controlled by Aryans. By 1933 Hitler and his Nazi Party controlled Germany. Leading to the destruction of 11 million people in the Holocaust and 72 million in actual battle.
