“The most Important Reason Why Germany Hated The Treaty Was Because Of The Loss Of Territory”. Do You Agree?

. All wartime guns and weapons were to be melted down as scrap metal.

2. The German navy was to be cut to 36 ships. Germany were not allowed to have any submarines in future.

3. The Germans were not allowed to have an airforce of any kind at all.

4. Germany were forbidden ever to make an alliance with Austria ever again.

I think that this would have been harder for the Germans to cope with than the loss of land because like what I said before, they would not have felt safe, because they would have no military protection of any kind really accept 100,000 men probably with very poor equipment, 36 measly ships compared to the other nations, and no airforce, with no real allies. To be honest, I don't really think any of the German people would have trusted the league of nations one bit, because after all, the nations in the league of nations were the nations who had so brutally attacked the Germans just a few months before, and had then treated them so harshly at the treaty of Versailles. The Germans wouldn't have thought that the major powers would help them, as many of the major powers that the war was the Germans fault, and didn't really care what happened to them, and I think that the Germans wouldn't have fault very safe being protected by people who had that attitude, and I think they would resent this more than any loss of land. I think also think a lot of Germans would put their health and the health of their family before anything else, as an example, if your house was burning down, and in it was your child as well as your very expensive wide-screen T.V, and you could only save one, then which one would you save? Now you may think that's an completely irrelevant example, but when you think about it, I think you'll realise that that situation isn't that different to the one I'm trying to explain to you about the Germans, and their land, or their health, or even just their piece of mind that both them and their family are safe.

I think that the blame factor would have been harder for the very patriotic people to swallow than the loss of land, but not for the not very patriotic people, because the Germans had been humiliated during the treaty of Versailles for many reasons, but the thing that would hurt the patriotic Germans and humiliate them the most would be making them accept the complete guilt of the war, the great war that had killed millions of people, and ruined many more millions of lives, and also brought shame to all of Europe, and I think these patriotic people would have found it hard to even to show their faces in front of foreigners having been made to feel that it was them who had committed this terrible crime, and I think that they would have found that much harder to overcome than the loss of land. I think that the not so patriotic people would have not have not found it that hard to get over accepting war guilt, but would have found the economic stress of losing all that great industrial area much harder.

Another problem for the German patriots would have been them not having any pride without their armed forces. I think that the non-patriots would have not found it that hard without having h the pride of their armed forces, but would have again found it harder overcome the economic problem of the loss of land, but again I think that the patriotic German people would to show their faces in front of foreigners without the pride of their nation in their armed forces.

The only people I feel I can possibly agree with this statement are those who have had to have been put into a 'new rule' because the land they were living in had been given to another country, and all of a sudden instead of living under German rule, they are suddenly living under the rule of a different country, which they might not like, but they can't really say anything, because they don't know how their new government will react, because they are unlikely to know how people will react in that country. Another thing is they might not know the religions, traditions, and probably the language of their new country.

In conclusion, I think the only people I can agree with with this statement are the people living in a new country.
