This is basically because the Treaty of Versailles was a 'dictated peace' which the Germans had no part in drawing up, so that the majority of Germans saw it as essentially harsh and unfair. They blamed their own (left wing) politicians for agreeing to it and this made it easier in the long run for the Nazis to win support - since they promised to overturn the hated Treaty and to make Germany great again.
Hitler did 'undo' the Treaty in various ways all of which contributed in one way or another to the outbreak of WWII:
Of course this was not the only cause of WWII, but it's why many historians consider that the Treaty of Versailles which ended WWI was actually one of the main causes of WWII arguing that had Germany been treated fairly in 1919 then they would have had no reason to go to war in 1939.
Does that help, or do you need more?

- He refused to pay reparations
- He reoccupied the Rhineland
- He united Austria with Germany
- He invaded Poland

I do (get what you mean), so I guess it was sensible of you to check here to see that you were on the right lines.
Can I suggst that if you have questions like this again, that you make it a bit clearer what you have to do and why you are asking the question?. That way it doesn't look as if you are just expecting someone else to do your work for you. It looked a bit like that with your first question.

If the help you want is basic information about the Treaty then this site is very good:
http://www.johndclar...e_treaties1.htm ..... this is the link to the first page of the section on the Treaty. As you'll see, you can click through to the various sections of information and there is also a link from which you can print of a revision sheet (if that's what you need) as well as links to other sites with helpful info.
If there you have a particular question about something you don't understand, then you can get help here. Just say what it is.

If you are doing GCSE (or IGCSE if you are at an English speaking school outside the UK) you will need to learn all the information on this webpage
These are basic revision notes.
If you need to check that you know and understand the topic before using that page, then go to this section of the same site and work your way through each section:
http://www.johndclar...e_treaties1.htm
Please note that you have asked the same question in two different sections of the Forum. There is no need to do that. As soon as one of our Teacher Moderators has seen and approved your question, it will be answered as quickly as we can.

What was the purpose of the allied message to Germany delegation after world war one?
I think the purpose of the allied message to German delegation was so that everyone would be happy, because France and Britain were still upset about what had happened. They wanted Germany to pay.
what do you think is my answer good?
I need to put more into my answer any suggestions?
Thanks!

It's hard to answer your question, Melissa because you don't give us any information about what "the Allied message to the German delegation" actually said! I could guess at the message you mean, but it would be much better if you either gave us a clear web reference, or better still typed out what the actual message said in your reply to this thread.
What I will say is that your answer seems rather vague and generalised and to do better you need to refer directly to key words and phrases in the Allied message (actually quote a few short bits) in order to back up the general comments you make. A good answer would also use background knowledge of the circumstances at that time in order to explain the situation.

This is what i had to read:
During the peace conference at Versailles, Germany sent notes to the Allies asking for a lenient settlement. In June 1919, the Allies drew up a response to the Germans. The following selection is adapted from the Allied message to Count Brockdorff, head of the German delegation at Versailles. Read the selection and answer the questions that follow.
In the view of the Allies, the war which began on August 1, 1914, was the greatest crime against humanity that any nation calling itself civilized has ever committed. Germany's responsibility, however, is not confined to having planned and started the war. It is also responsible for the savage and inhuman manner in which it was conducted.
The conduct of Germany is almost unexampled in human history. The terrible responsibility, which lies at its door, can be seen in the fact that no less than seven million dead lie buried in Europe. Justice, therefore, is the only possible basis for the settlement of this terrible war. Justice is what the German delegation asks for and what Germany has been promised. Justice is what Germany shall have. But it must be justice for all. There must be justice for those who have died to free Europe from Prussian despotism. There must be justice for the people who stagger under huge war debts so that liberty might be saved. There must be justice for those millions whose homes and lands, ships and property German savagery has destroyed.
After I thought about i have changed my mind so the question is
What was the purpose of the Allied message to the German Delegation?
Okay my answer:
I think the purpose of the allied message to the German delegation was for justice. Who was going to pay for the lives lost, the money and time put into the war? As well the main part was that Germany could not go to war again. As well as to bring peace to everyone.
what do you think? my answer is it too simple? what is your suggestion?
thanks again!

Melissa,
It occurs to me that this work may well be part of your GCSE History Coursework (an exam for 16 year olds in the UK where this site is based) and that the grade you get will be part of your final GCSE result.
If that's the case, then I am afraid that Exam Board Regulations do not allow us to give you the sort of detailed help you are asking for here. It would be a form of cheating for us to help you.
I can only repeat what I said in my original reply ...
