(Originais Teachy 2024) - Question Hard of History

After the signing of the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, Germany, defeated in World War I, faced a series of punitive conditions that, among other consequences, contributed to social and economic discontent in the country. These conditions, combined with a series of global geopolitical and socioeconomic transformations, set the stage for the emergence of totalitarian regimes and, consequently, for the outbreak of World War II. Based on this historical context, answer: 1. Explain how the clauses of the Treaty of Versailles contributed to the weakening of the Weimar Republic and the rise of Nazism in Germany. 2. Evaluate, based on political, economic, and social aspects, the prospect of lasting peace that the Treaty of Versailles promised and discuss to what extent its provisions were fair or unfair to the German people.
