The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty basically imposed by 'the big three': Woodrow Wilson (US), Lloyd George (UK) and Clemenceau (France). Nobody from Austria or Germany took part in the negotiations. Amongst the terms reached were these:
- all German colonies were given to the Allies
- consription was not allowed anymore in Germany
- Germany was not allowed to build any submarines or planes
- the navy could only include six battleships
- Germany had to pay 6600 million pounds in gold and goods for the damage
- Also Germany and Austria were forbidden to reunite.
The treaty was signed on 28 June 1919.
The treaty had many consequences. For example, because the colonies were taken away, Germany could concentrate on itself. Because Germany got so poor, from all the damage pays, Hitler could come to power.

It was a treaty ending World War I. It was extremely unfair to Germany, forcing them to accept all of the blame for the war. It is a major cause of World War II. It helped the Nazi rise to power.
The Treaty of Versailles (1919) was the peace treaty which officially ended World War I between the Allied and Associated Powers and the Central Powers. After six months of negotiations, which took place at the Paris Peace Conference, the treaty was signed as a follow-up to the armistice signed on November 11, 1918, in the Compiègne Forest (which had put an end to the actual fighting). Although there were many provisions in the treaty, one of the more important and recognized provisions required Germany and its allies to accept full responsibility for causing the war and, under the terms of articles 231-248, make substantial territorial concessions and agree to disarm and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Allies. The Treaty was undermined by subsequent events starting as early as 1922 and was widely flouted by the mid thirties.

You mean,"WHOM did the Treaty of Versailles AFFECT?" It was the treaty that ended World war I and was imposed by the American and European Allies upon Germany. It called for huge amounts of reparations (money) to be paid by Germany to the allied nations, and it forbid Germany to build and have a navy and armed forces. It was the treaty that brought Germany to her knees and resulted in a wave of Nationalism where Hitler and his thugs were able to gain control and rule. So, WWII was an indirect result of the Treaty of Versailles and thereby we and the entire world was affected by it.

~Treaties aren't imposed, they are negotiated. If you are referring to the one between the Germans and the Allies, doesn't your common sense suggest that it effected Germany and the Allies? No? Then I can understand why you need me to do you homework.
Tell you what. Open that book you got at the beginning of the year and look up "Treaty of Versailles" in the index, then go to the pages listed and read them. If that doesn't work, punch "Treaty of Versailles" on the line that says "search" on your monitor, hit enter, select an appropriate hit and read it. If you can't handle that, get used to the fact that you are headed for a career of sweeping floors and mopping toilets. Enjoy.

Nope! Hitler disregarded it and the British and French grew to become a blind eye because of the fact they theory that the Germans have been dealt with unfairly with the treaty of Versailles, which certainly they have been. no longer basically this, they have been frightened Hitler could desire to start up yet another great conflict in the event that they did no longer please him.
