it pissed everyone off

Answer 4

Germany is to blame for everything leading up to the war, even though they had NOTHING to do with the assasination of Archduke Ferdinand.  Oh, and they gotta give back Alsance-Lorraine, even though they totally won it fair and square.

Pretty much beating them into so much debt that they would be a lot more likely to unite under the first nutjob that makes them feel a little bit of national pride again.  

worst treaty ever!

Answer 5

America- Wilson was dissopointed. Although his 14 points had beed adopted he considered it to be too harsh on Germany.

France- Despite the reparations France did not feel secure sharing a border with Germany. They wanted it to be much more severe.

Britain- Although revenge was satisfied some felt that the Treaty went too far only to satisfy France. It was hoped that the harsher terms could be altered later.

Germany- the Germans were very angry. They had not been allowed to take part in negotiations. The Weimar poloticians were blamed for signing it even although they really had no choice. The resentment Germany felt towards the Treaty and the economic difficulties it caused was one of the main contributers to the rise of teh n**i party and tthe Second World War.
