The Treaty of Versailles was extremely mean to Germany. It forced them to repay the countries involved, took land away and adjusted German borders. The terms angered the Germans. Hitler rose to power providing a scapegoat to blame all of the German problems on. This anger and the hope of the problems being solved by this one man/group was what allowed Hitler and the Nazi government to rise to power.
