The Treaty of Versailles (Ended WWI)

Also all of Germany's oversea lands were taken away and given away to the other allies and Then 12.5% of Germany's people found out that they no longer belong to Germany.

Also because of that it says that Adolph Hitler came to power after the Treaty of Versailles had made Germany a very helpless place. Adolph toke that the chance of over powering a weak Germany with some people that believed that a strong leader would bring Germany back and so they believed all that Adolph said like that the Jew's were to blame for all this.
