What kind of political reaction did the Treaty of Versailles create in Germany?

Correct answer: Anger and opposition

The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles—loss of territory, heavy reparations, and military restrictions—were widely seen in Germany as a national humiliation. They created anger and opposition towards both the treaty and the Weimar government that accepted it. The idea of immediate confidence in democracy is incorrect because the treaty weakened support for the Weimar Republic. Exam tip: link the Treaty of Versailles with humiliation, resentment, and political instability in Germany.
