"This will be the war to end wars" Actually it was the war that started all actual wars. Thanks to the Treaty of Versailles

"This is not a peacetreaty but a 20 year ceasefire"- Marshal Ferdinand Foch when he saw the Treaty of Versailles

Also Germany's Asian colonies were given to Japan

France really dug their own grave.

Not all german colonies went to the U.K and France though, Japan also got a few.

You taught me more in 5 minutes than my teachers could explain in (I am not joking) 200 slides.

G- guilt (take the blame) A- army restrictions R- reparations G- German territory LE- league of nations (unable to join) ~GARGLE! * this helped me, so feel free to use this if it helps :)

0:57 German: Waddup, can I party? French: No bro, stay back. German: Aight *inner thoughts* German: Just wait in 20 years.

It's sad that Germany had to take all the blame for the war when Serba started the war by assassinating the second in line for the Austrian throne

Simple history literally taught me what took my teacher 3 months to teach in less than 2 minutes,that’s dedication right there

Peace Treaty? more like War Treaty

Welcome to our World... Where a Peace Treaty triggers the Greatest War ever...

Austria Hungary declares war on Serbia! Who's fault was it? Germany! THIS IS NONSENSE

I wish you went more indepth with how Germany responded to the treaty

Germany:*signs Treaty of Versailles* Treaty of Versailles: I’m going to embarrass this country’s whole history Hitler: I’m gonna stop you there.

Can you go over what the Treaty of Versailles meant for the Ottomans and Austro-Hungarians?

Help cause world war 2? That was the biggest reason for ww2

I told my history teacher about this channel and now I have to watch these

WW2 England: But the treaty of Versailles! Germany: BuT ThE TrEAtY Of VeRsAiLlEs!

WW1: "ends" "20 years later" Hitler: lmao it's rewind time

Absolutely amazing video as usual! I watch lots of your videos and they really help me get better at my history GCSE so thankyou so very much :)

germany also, had to give belgium Eupen and malmedy.

you guys are awesome helping me with my projects for history keep up the good work

WW1 was not Germany’s fault. *change my mind*

"No Treaty of Peace Shall Be Held Valid in Which There Is Tacitly Reserved Matter for a Future War" - Philosopher Immanuel Kant, 1795

Great video, you really followed your name of "Simple History", broken down to make it easier. Just subscribed!!

Thank you!!!... This really helped, congratulations and keep up the great work

Thank you so much for your channel. It`s just amazing

Hey man, nice video. I got to know about you from the AMA on Reddit and since then I watched almost all your videos. I like the simplistic explanations and animations. It's also easier to learn history in small chunks of 2-3 minutes, even my sister of 11 got interested in history thanks to your videos. Overall, your content is educational, historically accurate but concise, and the quality of your videos seems to be improving. I hope you keep doing this, good luck.

This treaty is a perfect lesson for those who try to undermine someone who is potentially capable but temporarily weakened.....

Thank u for this wonderful presentation

I love your channel keep up the great stuff

0:38 that person had no legs

And the treaty didn’t mention Austria-Hungary? Who actually started the war?

Very interesting. Thanks for the video

Thank you for the information This helped me with my history classes

Fan fact: Hitler wanted to become an artist but the art school regected his request so if Hitler became an artist maybe WW2 would never happen (at least not at 1940 I guess)

A lot of things could be said about Woodrow Wilson I’m personally not his biggest fan, but I think WWII might have just been prevented if his idea were heard out.

thank you my dude this is for my assignment in history i love history especially world war history

thank you! very helpful for school report

SUMMARY OF PART ONE AND TWO The Treaty of Versailles, What Did the Big Three Want? (Video detailed summary) (part one) * World War I officially came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. 
 * 32 countries had come together in Paris in January 1919 to hold a conference which would make peace after the First World War.
 * It would be dominated by the big three:
 * David Lloyd George representing Britain;
 * Georges Clemenceau representing France;
 * Woodrow Wilson representing the USA.
 * Germany was not invited.
 * The Big Three wanted different things for Germany and disagreed on how harshly they were to be punished reflecting how their countries were treated in the war.
 * They had to negotiate with each other until there was a compromise.
 * This was difficult because Wilson was opposed to harsh punishment for Germany.
 * The USA had not been involved in the war as long as Britain and France and had not received as much damage. He wanted to prevent another world war by creating the league of nations based on his fourteen points to ensure Germany would not be destroyed and that Germany shouldn't be blamed for the war.
 * Clemenceau (france) aims were the harshest of the three -- representing the damage Germany had done to France's land and people and its threatening proximity. He wanted revenge and to punish Germany to return Alsace Lorraine to France, an independent Rhineland, no league of nations, Germany to pay huge reparations for the damage and losses caused, the disbandment of the German Army so that Germany would never be strong enough to attack France again.
 * Lloyd George (Britain) was an in-between. This reflected Britain which had little land damage, but high war losses. He wanted a punishment that would be tough enough to please those who wanted to make Germany pay, but would leave Germany strong enough to still trade land for Britain's Empire to safeguard Britain's naval supremacy.
 * When the Treaty of Versailles was ready, Germany was shown the document, but there was no negotiation, their rebuttal ignored.
 * On 28th June 1919 the Delegates met at the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles near Paris and forced two German representatives to sign it.
 ------ The Treaty of Versailles, Terms of the Treaty (Video detailed summary) (part two) * The terms of the Treaty of versailles can be divided into three groups
 * Territorial, military, financial and economic
 * Here are some of the territorial terms
 * Lorraine was returned to france
 * Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria lands in East Germany Including the farmlands of Posen and the polish corridor between East Germany and East prussia were given to poland
 * The Saar Which Had rich coal fields were given to France for 15 years
 * All Germany's colonies were taken and given to France and britain as mandates
 * Here are some of the military terms 
 * The German army was restricted to only 100,000 men. The Navy could now only have six battleships and no submarines and there was to be no air force allowed
 * The Rhineland was demilitarized this meant the German army could not go to this area between France and Germany
 * For the financial and economic terms 
 * Germany would have to pay reparations which would eventually be set at an enormous 132 Billion Gold marks on top of this germany was not allowed to join the league of nations and had to accept responsibility for causing all the damage and Loss by the war
 * Overall the Treaty of versailles was unpopular with Germany and its creators
 * Its terms would go on to be reversed by Germany in both secret and in the open by Hitler and help cause world war two

france and britain started ww2 with that treaty

I love to see this type of video

the video is a little fast . I appreciate the fact that the long paragraphs of world war 1 given in the textbooks which are too boring to be studied are been summarised in one short and crisp video of 1:54 but the person who is explaining about the terms of treaty of Versailles he is explaining it very fast so I recommend simple history to slow down a little bit . they are helping students worldwide and doing a great job !!

Italy felt betrayed as-well. Where was the Empire the allies had promised? It became that bit easier for Benito Mussolini to take over in 1922.

I'm honestly shocked you didn't mention Hyperinflation.

damn nice and simple,,,thanks man

Thank you so much

Allies: Demands 132 Billion Gold Marks Me an intellectual: Pays 132 Billion Gold Marks during hyperinflation

German soldier: *walks normally* French soldier: non German soldier : *yeeeet*

Thanks for the video, much better than my history book. :)

great video

They got blamed for the war but Austria-Hungary and Serbia started it

What would happen if the Treaty of Versailles was not agreed and signed? How would the countries who were at war that time responded and took action? If you were to rewrite the Treaty, how would you consider things? Any thoughts?

THANK YOU I JUST FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND I THINK I NW HAVE A CHANCCE OF PASSING HISTORY AT SSCHOOL

interesting video and vivid description yes jia yous

I really like the fitting music for the devasting times for Germany

Interesting fact: The WWI reparation took Germany 92 years (from 1918 to 2010) to pay the full amount of it.

I can do history now thank you so much! hope its enough to pass my history exam tho!

Thank you

POV: You’re In high school.

*Germany gets blamed* Siberia: "Act natural no one will notice"

Nice explain buddy

Definitely some cool stuff.

Some Austrian Painter : I’m about to end this Man’s career

Allies: Treaty of Versallies: Task failed succesfuly.

Nice

cool man !!!!!!!

Sucks that Germany was blamed

anyone else doing this for homeschool rn?

My exam is in like an hour.... i have never watched so much simple history in my life

Why did you split such a short video? It is annoying.

I think we can learn something from this, hardships can be overcomed and forgotten possibly, but insults are not. Germany was crushed and humiliated which is why it rose back in just 3 decades to swallow France entirely. After WW2 the USA efficiently funded for the reconstruction of the FDR, even though Germany lost more than 10% of her lands it was not humiliated and today Germany is an exemplary state.

What a Smart Guy!

Treaty of versailles was a crime

The treaty of Versailles was so unfair.

I have a poster need to do in school , may i take some screenshot to put on my poster? thanks

If people need a summary of the video: The terms of the Treaty of Versailles were divided into three groups: territorial, military, and financial & economic. Some of the territorial terms were Alsace-Lorraine to be returned to France, Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria in East Germany, including the farmlands of Posen, and the polish corridor between East Germany and East Prussia was given to Poland. The Saar which had rich coal fields were given to France for 15 years and all of Germany's colonies were taken and given to France and Britain as mandates. Some of the military terms were where the German army was restricted to 100,000 men, the Navy could now only have six battleships and no submarines and there was no air force to be allowed. The Rhineland was demilitarized which meant the German army couldn't go into this area between France and Germany. For financial & economic terms, Germany would have to pay reparations which would set at an enormous 132 Billion Gold Marks, on top of this, Germany was not allowed to join the league of nations and had to accept responsibility for causing all the damage and loss by the war. Overall, this treaty was unpopular with Germany and its creators which would lead to the terms being reversed secretly by Hilter and helping cause World World II.

Germany did help his ally. Austria-Hungary who started the war! by declaring war against Serbia

coffin dance music begins to play for France.

guys i need help . do you think the treaty of versailles was justifiable at that time ? why ? thank you so much pls reply asap !!!

I was on Woodrow wilsons side because you dont wanna be to harsh and let them heal and just tell them to stop

Germany was untreated fairly after ww1 and then ww2

0:58 "ill jst go over he-- nope"

In love videos

Very useful and educational vids. But why didn't you mention the other countries affected? - Turkey, Hungary, Bulgaria? :(

this treaty was so harsh and unfair to germany because france wanted to take his revenge on germany for the 1870 prussian war humiliation...

So we have to blame France for WW2?

Good job , clapping

US:So uh guys let's just give em a small puni- France: N o

And that's why Germany took it heavily on France.

the most stupid treaty of all time

You should read about the balfour deklaration which you totally missed in your little video. a very important Dokument which was also part of those meetings in France and make u understand a lot of what and why WW1 happened. I also recommend u to listen to the Benjamin Freedman speech...

Can you talk about Hacksaw ridge?

Real thing:the cause of WW2 cuz of treaty of versailess

1:29 Can’t say I blame Hitler, no wonder people initially loved him. Even many foreigners respected him before he turned belligerent.

yes boys class video

Speaking of the Treaty of Versailles, you should do a video on the May 4th movement, and explain why China, despite attending the Paris Peace Conference, was the only country that did not sign the Treaty of Versailles.

No wonder France got rekt in WW2
