The Treaty of Versailles(ended WWI)


The Treaty of Versailles was a peace agreement after the WWI was ended in the year 1918. Between the allied and the Central powers and the Germn Empire. The Treaty of Versailles was about the responsiblities that Germany should take after the damages of WWI. Because during this war a lot of families was lost, homes was destroyed and people savered from starvation. And jobs too. Britain think it was unfair because they did the war but other countries had shared with them like France. Because of this treaty it was hard for Britain to regain power and wealth because they need to pay for every damage done. And their population is decreasing too because of some lands taken from them and lead to fascism.
