  14. The Treaty seemed to satisfy the "Big Three" • It made sure that Germany was too weak to start another European War, yet strong enough to help stop the spread of Communism. • It kept the French border with Germany safe from future German attacks. • It created the League of Nations. This would help promote peace and trade throughout the world.

  15. Germans hated the Treaty • Especially the War Guilt clause. • Many Germans also thought the financial penalties that the treaty imposed upon their country and her people to be immoral and unjust. • The German Government officials that had agreed to the treaty became known as the "November Criminals“. • Many German citizens felt that they were now being punished for the mistakes of the Kaiser who started the war.
