Many people are questioning if the Treaty of Versailles was fair even though it was Great Britain, France, United States, Russia, Italy and Serbia against Austria-Hungary and Germany. I feel like the treaty of Versailles was extremely unfair and biased.

Germany also lost huge areas of Germany for Poland and was not allowed to unite with Austria. Germany hated the land loss the most because that is extremely valuable and they had no say because they easily get out voted which causes them to be force to give up a big portion of their
