The Treaty of Versailles that ended World War I

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Treaty of Versailles imposed heavy reparations on Germany, essentially forcing them to pay the economic cost of the war. This fueled German dissatisfaction and contributed to the rise of Hitler and the Nazi party, ultimately leading to World War II.

Note: A is incorrect because the Treaty of Versailles actually created the League of Nations, although the US did not join. B is incorrect because self-determination was a major factor in international conflict, but the treaty did not mark its demise. D is also incorrect because the treaty did not lead to open diplomacy and cooperation, but rather to bitterness and resentment among many nations.
