The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The treaty of Versailles affected Germany at the end of world war 1 in many ways. When world war 1 ended, Germany faced a lot of suffering. When they lost, Germany had to sign the Treaty of Versailles and on the treaty it said that everything that happened in the war was Germany's fault. They got blamed for everything. Germany had went to war to try and conquer some land and they ended up loosing land and lots of solders. There economy was so bad because they had to pay and rebuild everything that got destroyed and then taxes were raised. I think that the treaty of Versailles caused the rise of Hitler because it just basically pissed him off and he wanted revenge. Germany wanted to become a powerful nation again so they people trusted Hitler and they picked him as there leader and it turned out to be a bad choice.
