Treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty that ended the Western European theatre of war during the Great War. Signed between the victorious Entente and the defeated German Empire, it is widely regarded as the harshest treaty in the entire aftermath of the war. Versailles, however, had unintended consequences. The Entente’s constant encroachment on the German economy and political sphere through the treaty lead to anti-Entente and anti-Republican attitudes, culminating in a civil war in 1919, ending in the abolishment of the German Republic and the rise of the German Union. As such, the treaty is seen as a relic of its past, but is used as a rallying cry for Germany in their effort to assert their own hegemony over Europe.
