The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. The treaty required Germany to accept that they were responsible for the war and have to give up land military and the economy. I think the Treaty of Versailles was fair because it prevented Germany from spending time on wars. i also believe the treaty led to the rise of Hitler because it gave him the strength to rise up and "defend" his people.
