Treaty of Versailles

One of the peace treaties at the end of World War I that ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers, signed on June 28, 1919. The controversial provisions in the Treaty required that Germany and its allies accept full responsibility for causing the war; Germany was to disarm itself, as well as make substantial territorial concessions and pay reparations to the Allies. The German resentment caused by the Treaty promoted the eventual rise of the Nazi party and the military growth under Adolf Hitler.
