Was The Treaty of Versailles- fair or unfair?


There are many ways to look at the treaty of Versailles, but the way I see it is in a fair way. I believe that the Germans deserved their punishment after all the chaos they caused. They didn't only start the Great War but they also forced Russia on an even worse punishment just a year earlier. In my point of view, punishing Germany was a good thing, but there's also a bad side to it. Because Germany felt so humiliated and betrayed after the treaty was made, they wanted revenge which then caused WWII just twenty years later. Of course that Germany's punishment was pretty harsh but they deserved it somehow. They are guilty for being the first country to start the Great War and should take full responsibility for it.
