What was the treaty of Versailles in the historian's point of view?please give me some examples of the historian's quotation who thinks the treaty...

The Treaty of  Versailles, the official end of World War
I, was signed June 28th 1919 in the Hall of Mirrors in the
Palace of Versailles in France.

The treaty was basically
an admission of guilt by Germany for starting the war; it was punitive in that it took
away territory from Germany and gave it to nations that were most heavily impacted from
the war, disbanded the German army and disallowed them any tanks.  They could only have
100,000 men in the armed force. And Germany had to pay reparations to France and Belgium
a damage price to be determined later.  The later damages that Germany was required to
pay amounted to over 6,000,000 dollars, something that Germany could not
afford.

Why is the treaty unfair? Germany started the war,
caused huge losses in human life and destroyed buildings in other countries during the
fight. The losses of civilian lives (women, children, non-combattants) have never been
determined as there was no one assigned to accurately counting collateral damages at
that time in history.

It is unfair because it took both
land and required cash payments.  The industrial base upon which Germany might have been
able to make a cash payment was primarily in the lands that were confiscated by Belgium
and France. Alsace-Lorraine was a very rich coal deposit area and a source for energy
for the German factories.

Germany was not allowed much in
the way of a military, however the limited standing army was side-stepped by keeping
those who had served in the reserves who could be called up at any time. Thus that
portion of the treaty was side-stepped.

The harshest
element of the Treaty of Versailles was the war guilt clause which forced Germany to
admit to full guilt for starting the war in the first place. The other countries who
were allied with Germany through secret pacts and alliances were left out of the "war
guilt" clauses in their treaties: TREATIES OF SAINT-GERMAIN-EN-LAYE, TRIANON, AND SEVRES
which ended the Austrian Empire, Hungarian Empire and Ottoman Empire respectively and
redrew land boundaries. However, there were not cash reparations in these treaties as
there were in the Treaty of Versailles.

Because the terms
of the Treaty of Versailles were so harsh, and the French were so insistent on the cash
payments, the U.S. loaned a sum of money to Germany to assist them in payment of their
fines.  This war debt only added to the misery of the German economy. It also set the
stage for the Nationalistic furor that would begin World War II.
