Treaty of Versailles (end of WWI)

The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty signed June 28th 1919, the end of WWI. It punished the Germans for all the people killed & everything else that happened during WWI. The Germans had to pay a lot of money, they tried to print more money out but their dollar had a very low value. The Germans economy was broke by the time they finished paying. The Germans also had to give up lots of land. I think the treaty was very unfair because in a war there's two sides, so they didn't make all the damage. Hitler saw their country in depression and told them that he would help them get their land back and what not. The Germans trusted he and then he became the dictator and started WWII. The Treaty of Versailles was the cause of WWII.
