- German Recations: There was anger throughout Germany when the terms were made public; Treaty became known at the Diktat- ar it was beign forced on them ans the Germans had no choice but to sign it; Many in Germany did not want the treaty signed; German representatives there knew that they had no choice as Germany was incapable of restarting ther wawr again
- Allies Reactions:At first the treaty seemed to satify the big 3 (US,GB,France); Allies believed it was a just peace as it kept Germany weak yet strong enough to stop the spread communism; kept the Fench border with Germany safe from another german attack and created the League of Nations that would end warfare throughtout the world; Then Wilson brought threaty back to the US Senate for ratification, the Senate refused to sign it cause they didn't want to get involved with it; Most countries ultimately were unhappy with the treaty and the results of WWI, France were unhappy with WWI results cause they thought that they should have been harder on Germany, GB was alright with results cause they wanted the trading and buying thing, Japan was happy cause they got a lot of land in China, Russia was unhappy with results because they lost a lot of land.
- Weimar Republic- New Government sent up in germany after WWI; democracy- people have a say in the government; failed because germany was in massive debt and in a depression
