The Treaty Of Versailles

Charlotte Gallagher Was the Treaty of Versailles fair or not? I think that the Versailles treaty was unfair to the Germany. Though Germany expected to be invited, but they were not invited into the discussion of the Versailles treaty. The German government were given just two weeks to consider the terms of Versailles Treaty, on top of this, most of their comments were being ignored and they were forced to sign the treaty or Germany …

…They obviously shared a border. They had absolutely no barrier from the full force of Germany, unlike Great Britain who had the channel and USA who had the Atlantic. A crippled Germany would be no threat to France in the future. They also wanted revenge from the war, because they lost many lives and spent a fortune on fighting..Perhaps another reason for the French wish for revenge was memories of the Franco-Prussian war of 1871.
