The primary result of the Treaty of Versailles was the imposition of heavy penalties and reparations on Germany. Germany was blamed for causing World War I and had to accept full responsibility. As a result, they had to pay substantial reparations to the Allies, reduce their military forces, and give up territories and colonies. The treaty also led to the creation of the League of Nations, an international organization aimed at preventing future conflicts. However, the harsh terms of the treaty, along with other factors, eventually led to a sense of resentment and humiliation in Germany, contributing to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the outbreak of World War II.
