The short answer is yes, the ToV did end the first world war. Yes it caused a lot of other problems and other wars but WW1 wasn't the first war ever fought
People who use the argument 'It caused the second world war, it caused war in the Balkans it is the root of all modern wars and so WW1 never ended' are not making much sense.
If that were the case then it could be said that the first world war was simply a continuation and escalation of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 -71, and also said that that war was caused by the Peace of Prague in 1866 following the Austro-Prussian war itself caused by the Napoleonic wars.
Following this argument, all wars can be attributed to a time when one ape hit another ape with a rock millions of years ago.

Absolutely not. First, it was not ratified by the United States. Second, the money for reparations that Germany was forced to pay almost ruined Germany and did, in fact, end up as the main reason for WWII. Third, Every war fought in the Middle East, the Balkan States and all of the areas around there are caused by stupid arrangements and formations of countries that were made up of ethnic groups that could never get along.
Right now the war in Iraq is nothing but another battle of WWI. Look the the Sikes-Picot Agreement and the Balfour Declaration and see how they affected what is going on now. The war will never end.

Some historians consider the period 1918 to 1939 as a lull in the First world war whilst the various combatants regrouped - the Treaty of Versailles only exacerbated the situation by giving the "Allies" a false sense of security whilst Hitler had time to re-arm his country after the failure of his predecessors.

No. The ceasefire between the allies and Germany happened in 1918. It was cemented by the ToV in 1919. Other countries signed different treaties such as StGermain...

Yes.
But, because of the terms on the Treaty, it was one of the sparks for WWII.

yes but it also caused WWII... Japan felt slighted by their lack of participation at the victory table, as did italy... these grievances resulted in a new war 20 years later
