• Some Europeans resented terms of Treaty of Versailles– Germans had to take full responsibility of WWI– Pay billions of dollars in reparation to allies– Disarm completely– Give up all overseas colonies and some territory in

Europe– Carved up Austro-Hungarian and Russian Empires

to create several European countries (borders were later disputed)

– League of Nations was part of the Treaty

or free press– Children were enrolled in military

organizations, taught loyalty to regime– Began attacking and annexing neighboring

lands, Ethiopia, Albania…withdrew from the League of Nations
