After World War I, Germany was greatly affected by the Treaty of Versailles. The treaty of Versailles blamed Germany completely, for the war. The treaty held Germany responsible for that damages that resulted from the war, iron costs, it limited their army to 100,000 soldiers, and they even took away a lot of their territory.
This treaty wasn't fair as it was hugely simplified. It didn't make much sense, and it was just wrong to blame one nation for the entire war. Some of the causes of World War 1 leads to Germany- but not every last one. Therefore it was without justice to blame them for the war. Germany struggled to recover. Germany went into a depression, leaving thousands of citizens unemployed. Their economy dropped, and people were left with no homes. This was way to harsh of a punishment for Germany.

Historians say that The treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolf Hitler. I believe they say this because the Treaty gave Germany many hardships and faced economic depression. Germany was vulnerable and weakened, thus Hitler came in to lead Germany. People followed Hitler as they had no hope other than having him lead them out of depression, and soon was the rise of Fascism.
