Question

Why do you think the Germans found Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles so objectionable (offensive)? (3-4 sentences)

Answer 1

The Germans hated Clause 231 (which blamed Germany for causing the war), because it was the excuse for all the harsh clauses of the Treaty, and because they thought Russia was to blame for starting the war. Germany's military power was reduced, and it was not allowed any troops in the Rhineland

Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles, known as the War Guilt Clause, was a statement that Germany was responsible for beginning World War I. The War Guilt Clause was added in order to get the French and Belgians to agree to reduce the sum of money that Germany would have to pay to compensate for war damage.
