The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The Treaty of Versailles
At the end of WWI this treaty was performed. Germany had lost and pulled up their white flag, and so surrender and defeat were taken harshly on Germany as they became the blame for every step of the war. As we know this harsh notification towards Germany wouldn't be taken lightly, pretty much helped Germany(many say) start WWII. This treaty was held in the palace of Versailles as hence the name. All countries attended the negotiation with almost 70 representatives of 27 countries. So the allied powers and central powers began to rest, in deep thought of what was lost and gained. One of the greatest tragedies which started off by a simple assassination of the arch duke Ferdinand ended up becoming known as WW. Germany mass produced machine guns. Great Britain made submarines and made a policy of unrestricted submarine warfare. So many technological advances led to even more deaths. As well as the use of poison gas grenades. The perplexed supremacy known as Germany would not stand for this, so they planned in the darkness even without Hitlers help.
