why was the treaty of versailles was not effective?

Answer 1

I am assuming you mean the Treaty of Versailles that ended WW1. In that case it was ineffective because:

1) the monetary punishment of Germany and the other belligerent powers bankrupted them. When countries and peoples have nothing left to lose, they must cast their lot with strong governments that will care for them in crisis. The Fascist governments that arose in the 20's and 30's are a result of the hopelessness of the people and their willingness to believe in omnipotent governments.

2) one of the main causes of the war was the disintegrating power of empires. The German, Austo-Hungarian, and Ottoman empires could no longer hold together their centrifugal territories and possessions. The war and the ToV removed these powers, but did not replace them with anything. Peoples who had never been free suddenly were faced with having to make democratic choices, which they were unable to do, and strong forces, not necessarily just or benevolent forces, swept in to unite these groups of people that were suddenly left "empire-less."

3) Although the ToV dictated disarmament of the hostile powers, there was no method of verification and no punishments dictated for failure to comply. As a result, when Germany began to re-arm, no one knew what to do.

4) Although this was not specifically the fault of the ToV or the signatories, the Great Depression bankrupt the victorious powers. They could not enforce the provisions of the treaty, even if they had wanted to. As a result, because Great Britain, the US, and France were so poor, they could not have fielded armies to stop Germany in 1933.

5) The League of Nations provided a false sense of security for the allied powers. The belief in "peace in our time" and "the war to end all wars" was so strong that as a people, we were unwilling to admit that there was still evil and belligerence in the world, especially in conquered Europe. We "showed them the ignorance of their ways" and put a deliberative body in place to settle disagreements before the use of force was necessary, so that strict governmental oversight was not enforced.

6) The ToV ended the war too early. Triple Entente forces never crossed onto German soil, so it was easy for follow on governments to claim the war was never really lost. Without an occupation and rebuilding, many Germans did not believe the war actually to be lost.

Answer 2

Following the defeat of Germany in World War 1, on 28 June 1919 , Germany was forced to sign the Treaty of Versailles with the victorious major allies of America , France and Britain . This treaty laid down harsh terms for Germany and it was greatly resented by Germans. Despite strong protests by the new democratic Weimar government, the treaty prevailed. Among the terms and effects of the treaty:

* Germany lost 10% of her land - both to the east and west. Belgium , Denmark and Poland gained territory at Germany 's expense. France regained Alsace-Lorraine, the provinces Germany won in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871. France was also given control over the rich Saar coal fields for 15 years. The Allies would also occupy the west side of the Rhine for 15 years. Germany also lost her colonies in Africa and the Far East .

* To prevent Germany from becoming a major military power again, severe limits were imposed on her army and navy. Her army was limited to only 100,000 men and she was allowed to keep only a small number of warships. Aeroplanes, submarines, tanks and heavy guns were banned.

* Germany had to pay war reparations to the tune of £6,600 million. But what the Germans resented most was that under Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles, they had to accept the blame for starting the war and hence made to pay this hefty amount

When Germany failed to pay a reparation installment in 1922, French and Belgian troops entered German soil and seized goods. The German government ordered passive resistance but workers needed to be paid. The government printed more money resulting in hyperinflation in which the price of goods skyrocketed. This had the effect of weakening the Weimar government. Adolf Hitler took advantage of this to blame the government for Germany 's ills. Although Adolf Hitler failed to seize power through the Munich Putsch of November 1923, that event had subsequently aided in his rise to power
