Treaty of Versailles is one of the key factor for the start of World War II and Nazi control of Germany.

As we all know, Germany lost the World War I and the Treaty of Versailles was very harsh on Germany. The treaty took much of Germany's land, its soldiers and made Germany accept the whole blame for starting the war. It devastated Germany politically and economically. It had to pay huge amounts of money to the Allies.

Ok.....now if someone did something similar to this to you.....like very hash treatment to you....you sure are getting angry at them. You sure want to get them back for what they have done for you.

Same thing was going on with German people. They had strong sense of nationalism. They wanted revenge. They wanted honor. They wanted to get back what they had lost and become stronger again. All they needed was some motivation and a powerful leader like Hitler.

The Nazi party wanted to give Germany its freedom, its pride...and that was exactly what Germans wanted. So, it made it easier for Nazi to control angry Germany.
