how did the Treaty of Versailles plant seeds of instability in Europe?

Answer 1

~Read the treaty, read what Woodrow Wilson had to say about it, look at the Great Depression and apply the terms of the treaty to the causes thereof, look at post-war Germany and how the treaty created that situation, consider how Hitler used the treaty in his climb to power, add two plus two and apply a little common sense. It's really rather simple and basic.

Answer 2

The Treaty of Versailles did not Plant the seeds of instability in Europe, The Treaty of Versailles FERTILZED the seeds of Instability in Europe. The Treaty was a huge load of sh^t that stunk up Europe and accomplished little - - - - a revision, the Treaty was a Ready Made 'Make Me a Dictator Kit' complete with instructions. The Treaty helped Hitler and Mossulini gain Power, along with several lesser fry in Austria and Rumania and other Easter European 'Nations.'
Europe was never all that 'stable.' The 'Unified' Europe of 2007 was but a Hitler Wet Dream when Hitler was a Baby and Before!!! France had a Revolution in 1789 and continued to have Revolution throughout the 1800s including painful bloodletting during the Franco-Prussian War of 1870. One reason why Germany attacked France in 1914 was they thought the French might simply fall apart (and they nearly did).
Germany was unified in 1869 and was still a Confederation of Petty Principalities & Kingdoms despite the Grandiose Sobriet Empire. That the Austrian-Hungarian Empire tottered into the 20th Century is a miracle, the Empire as well as the Russian Empire were living on Borrowed Time. The Balklans were under Ottoman Turkish Rule mostkly until just around 1900, and Italy also achieved status as a unified country in the 1880s.
The only European Nations that were stable at the start of The Great War were The Netherlands (new since the 1830's but a History as a Republic before that time), Denmark (which lost territory to Germany is 1870), and Norway & Sweden which amiably seperated around 1900... Europe was not a Stable Place and the Treaty was a Shaky Premise for achieving Stability. It was as stated (try reading it) caa-caa, word vomit, the sort of stuff spewed by a gaggle of lawyer-politicians drunk on liquor and their own self importance.

Answer 3

because the treaty's terms are biased:

Germany should not build a Army above 400,000 troops

The navy should not have U boats

There should be no Air Force

and Germany should pay all the damages in the war

The Germans felt that they were treated unfairly and some formed parties to oust the Wiemer Gov't and one of those parties was The Nazis led the Adolf Hitler. Hitler was succesful in his mission and destroyed the treaty.

Answer 4

The onerous terms of the treaty ruined the German economy and created the national humiliation and resentment that allowed Hitler to come to power.

Answer 5

The reparations that Germany was required to pay had a huge negative impact on their economy. The damage to their economy plus the humiliating restraints put on their ability to rebuild their armed services paved the way for a strong nationalist movement. The result was Adolf Hitler's rise to power.

Answer 6

Germany was stripped of its resources. this caused resentment.
