Hatred of germans Treaty of Versallies Whole bunch

Why did the Germans dislike the treaty of Versailles so intensely?

ð       War Guilt Clause 231

-Germany accepted all the blame and the others countries was not to be blame.

àThis led to having the feeling of hatred towards other country as the other country did not have to pay anything. This made them economically weak to pay the debts.

ð       Reparations

-They should pay for the damages. (Compensation)

-Was forced to accept a blank cheque and pay for it.

-Reparations were made up of coal and money.

àThis made them weak to pay up the debts. Moreover, the lands that we taken away are filled with things that could pay off their debts. This made them poor for a couple of generations. They got angry as they were once a major power but now they have nothing and they have to pay off the debts.

ð       German armed forces

-Were to be kept small and this would make them to be weak to fight another war.

-They can have submarines and this led them to having no defense for themselves.

àThey had no army to protect their land if any of the major powers were to attack them. Moreover, the lands that were taken away were close to Germany. This led to more anger as they were the weakest country there.

ð       German colonies

-Germany lost all its colonies and they would be controlled by the LON called the mandates of LON.

-Many Germans were forced to live in different countries which they do not want to.

-No self determination

-Lost all the colonies which were filled with natural resources like coal that could help them in paying the reparations.

àAlthough the 'self- determination' was in the fourteen points, it was not practiced in the Treaty. The Germans were separated and they had no say in it. They were bullied around as they Treaty state that they had to be removed from Germany. This led to hatred to the TOV as they were not giving any voice.
