treaty of versailles

Germany was blamed for starting the war. It's like when siblings argue and one gets blamed for everything that went wrong, even if it wasn't entirely their fault.

Germany had to pay a hefty bill for damages caused during the war. Imagine having to pay for fixing everything after accidentally breaking a neighbor's window with your baseball.

Germany lost some of its land to neighboring countries. It's kind of like losing a chunk of your backyard to your neighbor because they said so

The treaty created the League of Nations, sort of like the United Nations of its time, to prevent future wars. It's like promising your parents you'll play nice with your siblings from now on.

The treaty had profound effects on German society, politics, and economy, shaping the course of history for years to come. It's like a rock thrown into a pond
