so far i have

- Made Hitler want to reverse it, one of his aims was to abolish the ToV, because it was too harsh

- Made Britain back off from their decisions. For eg when Hitler wanted to rebuild his army, they let him because they believed the treaty was too harsh after all, this enoucraged Hitler to gamble more.

- Left germany in a terrible economic and social state

help?

[MrJohnDClare]

Yes.

I'd go through the terms of the Treaty and see what became of them:

Reparations - ruied the economy of Europe - gave Keynes (who prophecied this) great authority - which meant that economics was dominated by (mistaken) Keynesian theories until Margaret Thatcher.

Yugoslavia - Balkan wars of the 1990s?

Self-determination set up lots of little countries in central Europe which easily fell to Hitler in the 1930s and to the USSR in the 1940s.

Danzig - caused the Second World War

League of Nations - significant effect on international relations up to 1936, and after WWII it was copied in the United Nations - the PRINCIPLE of collective secutiry has dominated international relations ever since. And think too of those UN agencies which STILL exist - WHO, ILO, ICJ.

The actual terms of the Treaty so discouraged American politicians that they refusd to joinh the League or ratify the Treaty, which ultimately weakened both and led directly to WWII.
