In fact, majority of the articles of the Versailles treaty relate to Germany. One important thing to remember is that there were no German representatives allowed into the committee deciding upon the terms of the treaty. Two of the most prominent articles relating to Germany are Article 43 and Article 231. Article 43 demands that in a certain are designated in Germany (the Rhine), the creation and training of armed forces are forbidden. This is prominent because this leaves France safe from German forces and also leaves Germany with its hands tied behind its back and other countries deciding what to do with the affairs within the country. This is very representative of the severe oppression Germany faced in the treaty. Article 231, the most important, demands that "Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war". This article makes Germany the scapegoat of all the destruction the war caused. This, going on with the previous point, also serves as an act of oppression to Germany.
