Answer:

On one hand the Treaty of Versailles was not fair to Germany, but on the other

hand it was. Germany was said to be responsible for the cause of the war. If

Germany was responsible for the starting of the war then Germany deserved

something bad in return. I agree with Georges Clemenceau of France because

Germany should never be allowed to start another war. The provision that was

fair was the decrease to Germany’s army. If Germany’s army is decreased then

they are most likely not going to start any more wars because they simply will

not have enough man power to help them succeed. The provision that was

unfair was the territorial extracting from Germany. Yes Germany is responsible

for starting the war, but it is not right that they are getting land taken away

from them for signing a treaty that they were forced to sign

-----

Treaty of Versailles is mostly fair to Germany. The treaty reduced

Germany's army to 100,00 men, airforce was no longer allowed, and

only 6 capitals were permitted to have naval ships but no submarines.

To me, all of those restrictions were fair. Germany deserved mainly

everything they got because they were the ones who started the war

in the first place. I say don't do the crime if you can't do the time. The

Treaty, in this case, was the "time" they had to do. Now, I do not

think that the price set and Germany not knowing about the terms of

the Treaty a while before they had to sign it, is unfair but at the same

time, they knew this was bound to happen eventually. I semi agree

with David Lloyd George of Britain because Germany should have paid

but I absolutely do not agree with Clemenceau because Germany

should not be destroyed. To conclude, the Treaty of Versailles was fair

to Germany in some terms but unfair in some other terms, but I

mostly think the Treaty was fair
