How did the Treaty of Versailles impact the development of World War II?
assistant
The Treaty of Versailles had a major impact on the development of World War II. It forced Germany to accept responsibility for starting the war and to pay large reparations for the damage caused. This contributed to the humiliation of Germany and its difficult economic situation, which in turn caused resentment and agitation amongst its citizens. This created an environment in which the Nazi party was able to gain influence and power, which ultimately led to the outbreak of World War II.
