The treaty of Versailles affected Germany at the end of WWI because it made Germany the cause of the first world war and the treaty of Versailles made Germany lose 10% of there land. 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.
Some historians say that the Treaty of Versailles led to the rise of Fascism and Adolph Hitler, I think that the historians believe that because of the many history story's they have read or heard or discovered. 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.

Fascinating !
As I may have told your classmates, for another great take on the Treaty of Versailles and its frightening consequences for the subsequent decades, do have a look at my wonderful new book, "A Shattered Peace: Versailles 1919 and the Price We Pay Today" [ www.shatteredpeace.com ] ... available through Amazon and most bookstores !
(i'd also be delighted to chat with your class or bookclub via speakerphone or video hookup!)
All the best,
