The Treaty of Versailles was signed between the defeated Germany and the victorious Allied Powers.

It is better to say that the Provisions of the treaty were imposed upon Germany. That is why the Treaty of Versailles was called a “dictated peace’.

Naturally the reaction of such an imposed treaty was bound to be adverse. Hitler took full advantage of the German people’s discontent and grabbed the state power.

Hitler’s primary objective now was to repudiate the Treaty of Versailles. Britain and France realizing the wrongs done to Germany by the Treaty of Versailles tried to appease Hitler.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

This had a disastrous effect as Germany started annexing countries one after another. This eventually led to the World War II.
