• The Treaty of Versailles was established after the Great War and aimed to achieve peace.
• The treaty was formed by the presidents Lloyd George of Great Britain, Vittorio Orlando of Italy, Woodrow Wilson of the U.S.A. and Georges Clemenceau of France.
• Russia wasn't part of the construction of the treaty as they had surrendered from the war earlier and made a seperate treaty with Germany prior.
• The treaty was very flawed as many countries such as Italy weren't happy with it.
• It was made with the ideals of the countries who wrote it in mind, not caring about effects on the countries it would be imposed on.
• Massive war reparations were placed on Germany and it was made to be effectively the sole reason for the war.
• It would have been better if the treaty had been fair towards Germany which was one of Europe's largest economic powers, allowing the economy of Europe to recover quicker.
• The treaty humiliated German people and caused bitterness instead of forming a constructive peace.
• Germany had been weakened by the treaty although it was in a situation where it could easily recover.
• The Treaty had failed to either form constructive peace or completely destroy Germany, and flaws would soon be apparent.
• Hitler used the treaty and it's humiliation of German people extensively during his propaganda campaigns.
