28 giug 1919 anni - Treaty of Versailles signed

Descrizione:

The terms of the Treaty were very damaging to Germany for a number of reasons:

Territory was taken from Germany, depriving it of valuable industrial income.
Germany had to accept responsibility for starting the war, leading to feelings of humiliation and anger. This was the War Guilt Clause, which left many Germans feeling humiliated.
Germany had to pay reparations of £6.6 billion, which would ensure that the economy would not recover.
Germany’s armed forces were severely reduced. For example, there was no air force, a maximum 100,000 soldiers and a reduced navy.
The link to the armistice and Treaty of Versailles had serious repercussions for the Weimar Government.

The accusations surrounding the ‘November Criminals’ and the ‘Stab in the Back’ claims, were used in many of Hitler's speeches in order to discredit the government.
