Unfair Terms Of The Versailles Treaty

... I address you today on behalf of the German people and their reaction toward your Versailles treaty. When the details of the treaty are published the Germans are going to be horrified, since the German people had always been told they were fighting a defensive war and did not therefore regard themselves as responsible for this disaster, which has befallen Europe. This disgraceful way in which the treaty has been composed and its excessive terms, will eventually lead to the fall of Weimar. You are expecting the German people to accept the terms or else, and without any explanation. ...

Several of the clauses of the Treaty are in fact quite harsh. ... One of the territorial clauses of Versailles is that the industrial heartland of Germany, the Saraland, is to be worked by the Germans for the benefit of France for 15 years. ... The German people resent this and will react badly to this part of the treaty, in our opinion we are no guiltier of starting the Great War than any other European power.
