Context: After the war, the Paris Peace Conference imposed a series of peace treaties on the Central Powers officially ending the war. The 1919 Treaty of Versailles dealt with Germany and, building on Wilson's 14th point, brought into being the League of Nations on 28 June 1919. The Central Powers had to acknowledge responsibility for "all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by" their aggression. In the Treaty of Versailles, this statement was Article 231. This article became known as the War Guilt clause as the majority of Germans felt humiliated and resentful. Overall the Germans felt they had been unjustly dealt with by what they called the "diktat of Versailles". German historian Hagen Schulze said the Treaty placed Germany "under legal sanctions, deprived of military power, economically ruined, and politically humiliated." Belgian historian Laurence Van Ypersele emphasises the central role played by memory of the war and the Versailles Treaty in German politics in the 1920s and 1930s:

Question: Who was on the receiving end of the Treaty of Versailles?

Answer:
the Central Powers
Sammanhang: Efter kriget införde fredskonferensen i Paris en rad fredsfördrag om centralmakterna som officiellt avslutade kriget. Versaillesfördraget från 1919 behandlade Tyskland och, med utgångspunkt i Wilsons 14:e punkt, införde Nationernas förbund den 28 juni 1919. Centralmakterna var tvungna att erkänna ansvaret för "alla de förluster och skador som de allierade och associerade regeringarna och deras medborgare har utsatts för som en följd av det krig som påtvingats dem genom deras aggression". I Versaillesfördraget var detta uttalande artikel 231. Denna artikel blev känd som Krigsskuldsklausulen då majoriteten av tyskarna kände sig förödmjukade och förbittrade. Sammantaget ansåg tyskarna att de hade blivit orättvist behandlade av vad de kallade "versaillesdiktatet". Den tyske historikern Hagen Schulze sade att fördraget placerade Tyskland "under rättsliga sanktioner, berövat militär makt, ekonomiskt ruinerat, och politiskt förödmjukat." Den belgiske historikern Laurence Van Ypersele betonar den centrala roll som minnet av kriget och Versaillesfördraget spelade i den tyska politiken under 1920- och 1930-talen: Fråga: Vem var på väg att få Versaillesfördraget?
