Germany was not allowed to participate in the negotiations before signing the treaty. </p><p>The treaty <a href="/wiki/German_disarmament" title="German disarmament">required Germany to disarm</a>, make territorial concessions, extradite alleged war criminals, agree to Kaiser Wilhelm being put on trial, recognise the independence of states whose territory had previously been part of the German Empire, and pay <a href="/wiki/World_War_I_reparations" title="World War I reparations">reparations</a> to the <a href="/wiki/Triple_Entente" title="Triple Entente">Entente</a> powers. The most critical and controversial provision in the treaty was: "The Allied and Associated Governments affirm and Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies." The other members of the Central Powers signed treaties containing similar articles. This article, <a href="/wiki/Article_231_of_the_Treaty_of_Versailles" title="Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles">Article 231</a>, became known as the "War Guilt" clause. </p><p>Critics including <a href="/wiki/John_Maynard_Keynes" title="John Maynard Keynes">John Maynard Keynes</a> declared the treaty too harsh, styling it as a "<a href="/wiki/Carthaginian_peace" title="Carthaginian peace">Carthaginian peace</a>", and saying the reparations were excessive and counterproductive. On the other hand, prominent Allied figures such as French Marshal <a href="/wiki/Ferdinand_Foch" title="Ferdinand Foch">Ferdinand Foch</a> criticized the treaty for treating Germany too leniently. This is still the subject of ongoing debate by historians and economists. </p><p>The result of these competing and sometimes conflicting goals among the victors was a compromise that left no one satisfied. In particular, Germany was neither <a href="/wiki/Appeasement#Failure_of_collective_security" title="Appeasement">pacified</a> nor conciliated, nor was it permanently weakened. The United States never ratified the Versailles treaty; instead it made a separate peace treaty with Germany, albeit based on the Versailles treaty. The problems that arose from the treaty would lead to the <a href="/wiki/Locarno_Treaties" title="Locarno Treaties">Locarno Treaties</a>, which improved relations between Germany and the other European powers. The reparation system was reorganized and payments reduced in the <a href="/wiki/Dawes_Plan" title="Dawes Plan">Dawes Plan</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Young_Plan" title="Young Plan">Young Plan</a>. Bitter resentment of the treaty powered the <a href="/wiki/Hitler%27s_rise_to_power" class="mw-redirect" title="Hitler's rise to power">rise</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Nazi_Party" title="Nazi Party">Nazi Party</a>, and eventually the outbreak of a <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">second World War</a>. </p><p>Although it is often referred to as the "Versailles Conference", only the actual signing of the treaty took place at the historic palace.

In this regard, the wrongs of racial discrimination have been, and continue to be, the source of "profound resentment on the part of large numbers of the human race", directly affecting their rights and their pride. Many nations fought in the recent war to create a new international order, he said, and the hopes of their nationals now have risen to new heights with victory. Given the objectives of the league, the wrongs of the past, and the aspirations of the future, stated Makino, the leaders of the world gathered in Paris should openly declare their support for at least "the principle of equality of nations and just treatment of their nationals" (<a href="#CITEREFLauren1978">Lauren 1978</a>, p. 270).</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-213"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-213">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">On 8 March 1936, <span class="nowrap">22,700 armed</span> policemen were incorporated into the army in 21 infantry battalions (<a href="#CITEREFBell1997">Bell 1997</a>, p. 234).</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-217"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-217">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text"><a href="/wiki/Gustav_Krupp" class="mw-redirect" title="Gustav Krupp">Gustav Krupp</a> later claimed he had duped the Allies throughout the 1920s and prepared the German military for the future (<a href="#CITEREFShuster2006">Shuster 2006</a>, p. 116).</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-237"><span class="mw-cite-backlink"><b><a href="#cite_ref-237">^</a></b></span> <span class="reference-text">"The Treaty includes no provisions for the economic rehabilitation of Europe—nothing to make the defeated Central Empires into good neighbours, nothing to stabilize the new States of Europe, nothing to reclaim Russia; nor does it promote in any way a compact of economic solidarity amongst the Allies themselves; no arrangement was reached at Paris for restoring the disordered finances of France and Italy, or to adjust the systems of the Old World and the New. The Council of Four paid no attention to these issues, being preoccupied with others—Clemenceau to crush the economic life of his enemy, Lloyd George to do a deal and bring home something which would pass muster for a week, the President to do nothing that was not just and right. It is an extraordinary fact that the fundamental economic problems of a Europe starving and disintegrating before their eyes, was the one question in which it was impossible to arouse the interest of the Four. Reparation was their main excursion into the economic field, and they settled it as a problem of theology, of polities, of electoral chicane, from every point of view except that of the economic future of the States whose destiny they were handling."
