🤔 Backdrop: The Treaty was like the "Big Show" after WWI. But guess what? Not everyone was clapping!

Who's to Blame? The “War Guilt” Debate 🧐

  • 🇩🇪 Germans: "Why's everyone pointing fingers at us? Shouldn't everyone share the blame for this mess?"
  • 🌍 Real-world Example: Imagine if you and your friends made a mess during lunch, but the principal only punished you. Ouch!

Downsizing Germany's Defence! 🤺

  • The Treaty told Germany: "Only 100,000 soldiers for you!"
  • Imagine your favorite soccer team being told they can only play with 5 players instead of 11! 🥅⚽
  • Meanwhile, the rest of Europe didn't downsize much. Talk about double standards!

Paying Up: Reparations & Losing the Gold Mines 💸

  • Mr. J M Keynes (a big brain economist) stepped up and said: "This isn't just bad for Germany; it’s bad for Europe!"
  • 🌍 Real-world Example: Imagine owing a massive debt but then losing your job that helps you pay it. You'd be stuck!
  • Spoiler Alert: Germany faced hyperinflation (when prices shoot up really fast). It's like going to buy an ice-cream 🍦 and coming back to find the price tripled!
