The statement "Germany was instrumental in the finalizing of the terms of the Treaty of Versailles" is false.
The correct statements are:
1. The Treaty of Versailles did not take into account Russian opinion as much as it did French opinion. (True)
2. Germany was instrumental in finalizing the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. (False)
3. The Treaty of Versailles was never signed by Germany. (False)
Explanation:
1. The Treaty of Versailles was predominantly influenced by the opinions of the French. While Russia was one of the Allied powers during World War I, they did not have as significant an impact on the negotiations as France did.
2. Germany was not instrumental in finalizing the terms of the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty was primarily drafted by the Allied powers, consisting of France, Britain, Italy, and the United States. Germany was given limited input and was largely forced to accept the terms imposed on them.
3. The Treaty of Versailles was indeed signed by Germany. It was signed on June 28, 1919, in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles in France. Germany had no choice but to sign the treaty, as it was a condition for the end of World War I and the lifting of the naval blockade imposed on the country.
