The correct answer is:
Germany was blamed for the war and severely weakened.
The Treaty of Versailles placed all blame for World War I on Germany and its allies, resulting in significant territorial losses, massive reparations payments, and military restrictions. This resulted in Germany's economy collapsing and its military power greatly diminished, leading to a sense of national humiliation.
