Unfairness of the treaty of Versailles Script

With the League strongly relying on the Treaty of Versailles to keep everything in running order, it is not surprising that it was another reason for the failure of the League. The reason the treaty was so unsuccessful was because it was very unfair, particularly on Germany. Germany had no say in their fate, and as a result the German people became upset that they could not have a say in the treaty. It is no wonder that the German people referred to the treaty as 'Diktat', which means dictated peace. With Germany having 10% of their land and people taken away from them, they got very angry and there was cause for concern. The reparations was also far too much for Germany, and France would stop at nothing to get their money to pay for the damage. Germany were punished severely and blamed for WWI, which made them hungry for revenge! This made the League fail because USA, Britain and France disagreed on how harshly Germany should of been punished, and this caused tensions. This also proved that the League were very indecisive.
