The Versailes Treaty was in 1919, after WWI, not WWII. The British, French and Americans required huge reparation payments for war damage, required the dismantling of the German navy and air force, huge reduction in German army, and surrendering of some land in Europe and Germany's colonies.

It observed the classic progression for significant wars of having a peace convention (in Paris) with a Treaty produced, supposedly to resolve concerns. The Versailles treaty became badly seen and poorly drafted - interior the end it became unworkable - it had no tooth because the League of countries which became meant to police it turned right into a finished failure (the U. S. did not connect). The swingeing reparations which Germany had to pay in a time of monetary fall down following the Wall street Crash created the situations for hyperinflation - and prepared the floor for the upward push of facism and nationalism which the Nazis were in a position to apply. you need to study AJP Taylo's How Wars end to get some extra perfect theory what became occurring - as you'll discover there is quite some muddled questioning in this. No such keep on after WW2 - in common words unconditional renounce may fulfill the victors - and the losers may be rescued economically purchase mechanism which incorporates the Marshall Plan intednded to encourage peace particularly than be punitive..

First, Treat of Versailles came following Armistice ending WWI not WW2. But we know what you meant.
The German currency was greatly deflated making them more susceptible to economic downturns that struck the entire world after World War 1.
The Treat of Versailles also prevented the Germans from building weapons systems that had been a pre-war boon prior to war.
As the economic downturn worsened in Allied countries, the states relied even more on reparation payments form Germany and Germand was not given a pass despite their economic conditions. In today's world, a lot of this debt would ahve been forgiven but not in the punitive environment of 1920s.
Also Germany lost access to many industrial and natual resoursese in Alcase Lorrain, Saarland, western Poland.
Their allies in Balkans were destroyed.
Russia-style Communism threatened upheavel in industrial towns.
Shortage of manpower from loss of young men.
Loss of shipping fleet numbers.
etc etc etc
