A Defeated Germany…is an excerpt from the German parliamentary debate surrounding the acceptance or rejection of the Versailles treaty. Why did the delegates find themselves in such a difficult position and which parts of the treaty were most difficult to accept? What factors motivated some delegates to accept it?The writings of important British economist John Maynard Keynes are representative of the so-called “Versailles Guilt,” or the idea that some of the Great Powers (particularly the British) realized that the terms of the treaty had been too harsh and that perhaps they bore part of the guilt for the rise of German fascism. How, specifically, does Keynes argue that the treaty created a potentially dangerous situation? 2 paragraphs for each question

Question 1
     One of the most crucial peace agreements of World War I was the Treaty of Versailles. As a result of this treaty, Germany surrendered before the Allied force. It was, however, challenging for the German parliament to accept many of the provisions of this treaty. The most controversial and complex provisions were:
· That Germany and its allies are responsible for all the losses and damage incurred by them and their nationals during the aggression. 
· That Germany was forced to unarm, sort territorial concessions, and remunerate compensation to various Entente states.
