The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty created by the infamous leaders apart of the Big Four (Woodrow Wilson of the U.S.A., David Lloyd George of Great Britain, Georges Clemenceau of France, and Vittorio Orlando of Italy) against Germany that implemented harsh rules to live by.

In my honest opinion, I believe that if this treaty was not passed and both sides went separate directions, there would be no World War II. I think that this treaty started madness in Germany, which led Hitler to do what he
