 * "The Germans tried to have changes done to the treaty, but their efforts were futile."
 * "German’s military commanders, fully aware that the German military could not form any strong defense, advocated the signing of the treaty."
 * "Symbolically, it was the same place where Otto von Bismarck had celebrated the French defeat in 1871 by proclaiming a German Empire, after the Franco-Prussian war that finalized the unification of the German state and signaled the rise of Germany’s military power."
 * "The German populace believed that the treaty was unfair. The Germans tried to have changes done to the treaty, but their efforts were futile."
 * "Hitler in essence promised the German people the effacement of the Versailles Treaty. In doing so he paved the way to World War II."
 * "To fulfill his promise of reuniting all Germans once again, Hitler first unites with Austria in what is termed the //Anschluss//. The union of Austria and Germany was forbidden by the treaty."
 * "Hitler’s popularity, in large part was due to his outspoken denunciation of the treaty."
 * "By 1939, Hitler has literally abolished the dictated treaty and World War II begins in 1939 with the invasion of Poland."
 * "The Allied forces were concerned with weakening Germany militarily. Numerous restrictions were placed on Germany’s military. Germany was forbidden to possess submarines and naval aircraft."
 * "Extracts from the Nazi Party Programme 1920:
 * "Hitler was very upset when Germany surrendered in November 1918 and firmly believed that Jewish politicians had stabbed Germany in the back. Germans hated the Versailles Treaty and viewed the June 28, the signing of the treaty as a day of dishonor for the German state. Hitler’s main objective and argument was that he was going to make Germany great again."
 * "He argued that in for Germany to regain its status of greatness, he Versailles Treaty had to be abolished.
 * "The treaty was signed by Germany on June, 28, 1919."
