The Treaty of Versailles imposed severe restrictions on Germany following World War I, with reasons Germany hated Treaty of Versailles ranging from territorial losses to economic burdens.
• The Treaty resulted in Germany losing 10% of its territory and 12.5% of its population, significantly impacting their national identity and economy
• Military restrictions in Treaty of Versailles reduced Germany's army to 100,000 men and prohibited air force, tanks, and submarines
• The war guilt clause (Article 231) forced Germany to accept blame for the war, leading to massive reparations
• The economic impact of Treaty of Versailles on Germany was devastating, with loss of industrial regions and the burden of paying £6.6 billion in reparations until 1984
• The treaty violated Wilson's principle of self-determination, leaving 6 million Germans living under foreign rule
