Resource summary
3. Why the Germans disliked the Treaty of Versailles
Diktat (dictated peace)
Germany was forced to sign the treaty
Not involved in any discussion of the Treaty
Given 3 weeks to protest and only small things were changed due to the protests
Loss of Land
Lost 72,500 km squared of its land. Lost over 6-7 million people (over 10% of population)
'Polish Corridor' separating Germany from East Prussia (its province)
Distribution of its colonies to other countries was seen as unfair by the Germans
GB took most colonies but many German colonies also went to France and Belgium
Military restrictions
Germany was restricted to an army of 100,000 men.
They claimed that this was not enough to keep order in Germany and too small to defend itself
War guilt
Forced to accept blame for the cause of WW1
Gave allies a reason for demanding payment of reparations
Germans felt blamed for what the Kaiser had done
New democratic government had been set up
New government was humiliated and called the 'November Criminals' by angry Germans
Reparations
6.6 million pounds = far too much for Germany to pay.
France wanted to ruin Germany's economy so it couldn't attack again.
Trade in Europe was essential for Germany's economic recovery
The longer the reparations went on, the longer it would take to get for trade to recover
