Write a summary about The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919 at the Palace of Versailles in Paris at the end of World War I, codified peace terms between Germany and the victorious Allies. The Treaty of Versailles held Germany responsible for starting the war and imposed harsh penalties on the Germans, including loss of territory, massive reparations payments and demilitarization. Far from the “peace without victory” that U.S. President Woodrow Wilson had outlined in his famous Fourteen Points in early 1918, the Treaty of Versailles humiliated Germany while failing to resolve the underlying issues that had led to war in the first place. Economic distress and seething resentment of the treaty within Germany helped fuel the rise of Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party, as well as World War II.

And write like a fourth grader

The Treaty of Versailles was a document signed in 1919 at a fancy palace in Paris. It was supposed to bring peace after World War I, but it made things worse for Germany. The treaty blamed Germany for the war and made them pay a lot of money in reparations. They also lost land and were not allowed to have a strong military. This made the German people very unhappy. It helped lead to Adolf Hitler and the Nazis taking power, which started World War II. The treaty did not really fix the problems that caused the war in the first place.
