No, Germany was definitely not responsible for the war - at least not solely responsible. Germany had invaded France after the war had began after being pulled in by their alliances. There was already imperialistic and nationalist tensions building within Europe at the time, and the assassination of Ferdinand was the spark that ignited it all. Germany may have wanted war, but by no means did they start the war. No one nation can be blamed for starting the war.

Congratulations, “the war to end all wars” has finally ended. Victory is yours. Before the war, you had a population of approximately 40 million people. But of the roughly ~9 million people who served in your country’s armed forces, 70% have either been killed or wounded in action. The countryside is littered with toxic waste, spent shell castings, and corpses. 1 million acres / 250,000 hectares of prized farm land have been scarred beyond recognition. You country lost more soldiers in the Somme (or even Verdun) than were lost in the last ~99 years of warfare combined. Your infrastructure East of Paris has been pulverized beyond recognition. The economic damage to your country is beyond calculation. The majority of this destruction was wrought by your sworn enemy (Germany) with the help of the other Central Powers, namely (the former) Austria-Hungary Empire, and The Ottoman Empire. Despite this, you’ve “won.” The question now becomes, “Who is going to pay for this?” Well for starters, Austria-Hungary no longer exists. They were effectively dissolved. Individually, the countries that once comprised the Austro-Hungary Empire have relatively small markets and are dealing with their own issues (like famine and political turmoil). And the Ottoman Empire was stripped of most of it’s territorial possessions in the Treaty of Mudros, which was signed two weeks before WW1 even ended. The Ottomans are also dealing with mass starvation at this point and political collapse (sound familiar), so additional reparations might be difficult to secure. By process of elimination / logical deduction, that leaves Germany, one of the largest pre-war economies in the world, and the single most powerful country (militarily and economically) amongst the Central Powers. It’s geographic location, geopolitical potential (and history with France dating back 170 years), casted Germany as a clear rival to both French and British interests from the outset. For these reasons, Germany was perceived (since unification) as an existential threat that had to be neutralized. Germany was also the last remaining Central Power to have a (relatively) intact economy still capable of paying reparations by war’s end. The Treaty of Versailles was intended to comprehensively neutralize the threat posed by a Germany; To not only force Germany to pay significant war reparations, but to also remove Germany’s territorial possessions, and it’s military-industrial capacity once and for all. Ironically, in a bid to force Germany back into an agrarian economy by removing it’s colonies, wealth, and industry, France and (to a lesser extent) Great Britain may have inadvertently set the stage for an even bloodier conflict only 20 years later. Woodrow dictating what should happen to Germany is the more ironic thing I've ever heard, he had no idea of the real destruction caused.

What the victorious powers failed to understand when making the treaty, was that the continent was a single economic unit tied together not just by geography but also trade systems that increased the well being and the quality of life for all europeans. Disrupting the economic eco-system, way too high reparations, exploiting a countrys ressources and businesses, made no economic sense but was down right dangerous. Mostly dictated by vengaence, greed and political oppurtunism and self dellusion, as they redraw borders to gain former prestige. They completely ignored the economic reality the world has created. It was a economic disaster, still I asked my eco-prof how such a thing could have been prevented. Enough reason for him to take a large part of our lesson about history where everyone had to gather ideas that we discussed. The results: desolving germany, entirely occupying it or split it up in an even larger scale would have led not only to an even bigger catastrophe, but could have crippled europe entirely. The best plausible way to negotiate would have been to adopt wilsons 14 points, but also adopt germanys middle europe project and create a economic union to stabilize the continental economy as well as confer any possible territorial changes with germanys and austrias diplomats. Future good relations are indispensable for trade and diplomacy, I'm just glad they learned this lesson after ww2 and rebuild europes entire economy and adopted the ideas of people like Keynes and Rathenau.

SUMMARY OF PART ONE AND TWO The Treaty of Versailles, What Did the Big Three Want? (Video detailed summary) (part one) * World War I officially came to an end with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919. 
 * 32 countries had come together in Paris in January 1919 to hold a conference which would make peace after the First World War.
 * It would be dominated by the big three:
 * David Lloyd George representing Britain;
 * Georges Clemenceau representing France;
 * Woodrow Wilson representing the USA.
 * Germany was not invited.
 * The Big Three wanted different things for Germany and disagreed on how harshly they were to be punished reflecting how their countries were treated in the war.
 * They had to negotiate with each other until there was a compromise.
 * This was difficult because Wilson was opposed to harsh punishment for Germany.
 * The USA had not been involved in the war as long as Britain and France and had not received as much damage. He wanted to prevent another world war by creating the league of nations based on his fourteen points to ensure Germany would not be destroyed and that Germany shouldn't be blamed for the war.
 * Clemenceau (france) aims were the harshest of the three -- representing the damage Germany had done to France's land and people and its threatening proximity. He wanted revenge and to punish Germany to return Alsace Lorraine to France, an independent Rhineland, no league of nations, Germany to pay huge reparations for the damage and losses caused, the disbandment of the German Army so that Germany would never be strong enough to attack France again.
 * Lloyd George (Britain) was an in-between. This reflected Britain which had little land damage, but high war losses. He wanted a punishment that would be tough enough to please those who wanted to make Germany pay, but would leave Germany strong enough to still trade land for Britain's Empire to safeguard Britain's naval supremacy.
 * When the Treaty of Versailles was ready, Germany was shown the document, but there was no negotiation, their rebuttal ignored.
 * On 28th June 1919 the Delegates met at the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles near Paris and forced two German representatives to sign it.
 ------ The Treaty of Versailles, Terms of the Treaty (Video detailed summary) (part two) * The terms of the Treaty of versailles can be divided into three groups
 * Territorial, military, financial and economic
 * Here are some of the territorial terms
 * Lorraine was returned to france
 * Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria lands in East Germany Including the farmlands of Posen and the polish corridor between East Germany and East prussia were given to poland
 * The Saar Which Had rich coal fields were given to France for 15 years
 * All Germany's colonies were taken and given to France and britain as mandates
 * Here are some of the military terms 
 * The German army was restricted to only 100,000 men. The Navy could now only have six battleships and no submarines and there was to be no air force allowed
 * The Rhineland was demilitarized this meant the German army could not go to this area between France and Germany
 * For the financial and economic terms 
 * Germany would have to pay reparations which would eventually be set at an enormous 132 Billion Gold marks on top of this germany was not allowed to join the league of nations and had to accept responsibility for causing all the damage and Loss by the war
 * Overall the Treaty of versailles was unpopular with Germany and its creators
 * Its terms would go on to be reversed by Germany in both secret and in the open by Hitler and help cause world war two

World War 2, and the Treaty of Versailles taught the world a very valuable lesson. Never take out your frustration on a country, to the country's people. The soldiers were required to fight, and the people were completely innocent. When Germany fell, France essentially dismantled Germany, and made it nearly impossible for them to figure out a way to fix the economic state. They created a third world country out of Germany. Then, Adolf Hitler, an angry veteran rose to power. And, what do you know? He militarizes Germany. France was one of the first countries to be trampled upon and controlled by the Nazis. For some reason, when Germany in particular unites, it becomes an extremely efficient country. World War 1, and World War 2 especially are great examples. When Germany unites, you want them on your side, and not pissed off at you. That's exactly what both the United States and Soviet Union intended on doing. Soviet Union wanted Germany as a communist country, and America wanted it to be capitalist. The Germans chose America here, and Germany is currently among the most efficient and thriving countries in the world. France on the other hand is thriving off of tourism.

@@matheuswagner5198 Hello Matheus In case you wish to understand why I wrote that the fate of the Middle East was "decided" at Versailles as direct effect, and was not "determined" by Sykes-Picot. For a strategy of divide and rule/conquer, *favoratism* is more important than to be fair (or other positive human character traits). Versailles' function was a "gatekeeper", in which Sykes-Picot (a secret deal) was allowed to pass even if in a watered-down manner, while other secret deals were not allowed to pass. That makes Versailles the geopolitically intrinsic, and Sykes-Picot the ancillary/subordinate in history, regardless of the timeline. In case you wish to know more about the impact of geopolitics and grand strategy, please go to the "Kaiser Wilhelm II" video on the "History Room" educational channel.

If the treaty was followed and enforced then there would not have been a second world war

Fact: Ho Chi Minh sents a letter to Woodrow Wilson while people are celebrating, the letter was ignore, the letter asking Woodrow Wilson to negotiate with France to deconlonize Indochina

since we now know that the harsh reparations cost of ww1 is partly what caused Germany to start ww2, would Clemenceau's idea of no standing army have kept Germany from gaining too much power and attacking, despite the harsh reperations?

Germany signs the treaty: I will never financially recover from this

Great summary for students!!!!

El Tratado de Versalles (francés: Traité de Versailles) fue el más importante de los tratados de paz que pusieron fin a la Primera Guerra Mundial. El Tratado puso fin al estado de guerra entre Alemania y las potencias aliadas. Se firmó el 28 de junio de 1919 en Versalles, exactamente cinco años después del asesinato del archiduque Franz Ferdinand, que había conducido directamente a la guerra. Las otras potencias centrales del lado alemán firmaron tratados separados. [6] Aunque el armisticio, firmado el 11 de noviembre de 1918, puso fin a los combates reales, se necesitaron seis meses de negociaciones aliadas en la Conferencia de Paz de París para concluir el tratado de paz. El tratado fue registrado por la Secretaría de la Sociedad de Naciones el 21 de octubre de 1919. Now this is what I call a quality comment

But Germany didn’t start ww1, it was Austria and Serbia

Germany never started WW1.They just supported their ally Austria-Hungary which started the conflict with declaring war on Serbia.I am really laughing for those who think that Germany has started the First World War.

That is why Italy didn't join them, this wasn't the deal. But worse, germany encpuraged austria. Nothing surprising, they wanted to go to war, this was no surprise. For example in 1912 the kaiser said to a swiss joirnalist that there would be war, maybe not this year but soon. The hermans thought that by having a war soon they could prevent the rise of russia.

Really helpful. Thanks!!

In fact, Clemenceau was not this extreme. He was even disaccording with the president, Poincaré who wanted to follow the war far more in the german lands. Poincaré fought his whole life to make germany pay its war indemnities (that will never be paid : when he decided to occupy ruhr to make them do it, the british blocked french money and made France stop its politics), when Clemenceau was called "father victory"... Alsace Lorraine had been taken in 1871 and France paid a big amount of money for its defeat. It was not so far for these people...
