Write a summary about the postwar peace talks President Woodrow Wilson wished above all to prevent future wars, the Treaty of Versailles, which formally ended World War I, is widely considered to have contributed to the rise to power of the Nazi party in Germany. Was the Treaty of Versailles a legitimate and justified attempt by the victorious powers to ensure that Germany would never again pose a military threat? Or did the Treaty, as the Nazis and many other politicians in Germany claimed, place an unfair and unnecessarily punitive burden on Germany? Was the supposed unfairness of the Treaty a significant contributor to the rise of the Nazi party in Germany—or was it merely a convenient rhetorical tool for German politicians to exploit? If the unfairness of the Treaty were indeed a cause of fascism in Germany, how do we explain the rise of fascism in Italy (which fought on the side of the allies in World War I) or the existence of fascist movements in Britain, the Netherlands, and other Western democracies in the 1930s?

Answer 1

President Woodrow Wilson wanted to make sure there would not be any more wars after World War I. The Treaty of Versailles was signed to end the war, but many people think it actually helped the Nazis come to power in Germany. Some people think the Treaty was fair because it tried to make sure Germany could not start another war. But others think it was too harsh on Germany and made them angry. Some people blame the Treaty for causing the rise of the Nazis in Germany, but it is not clear if that was the only reason. Other countries also had fascist movements in the 1930s, so it is hard to say for sure what caused it.
