Signed on June 28th 1919 as an end to the First World War, The Treaty of Versailles was supposed to ensure a lasting peace by punishing Germany and setting up a League of Nations to solve diplomatic problems.
The Treaty of Versailles did NOT bring peace to Europeafter 1919 (although it might be claimed that its terms were never carried out). It certainly helped the rise of Adolf H â¦ itler to power in Germany, and many historians believe that it was one of the crucial causes of World War II.ut perhaps the most humiliating for Germany was the War Guilt Clause, where Germany had to accept blame for starting WWI.
