What was the biggest political problem of the Versailles treaty for the Weimar Republic?

Correct answer: People linked the shame of the treaty with the new government

The direct answer is option A: people linked the shame and burden of the treaty with the new government. The Treaty of Versailles followed Germany’s defeat and imposed territorial, military and financial penalties. Since the Weimar leaders accepted the post-war settlement, opponents portrayed them as responsible for national humiliation. This political association damaged the government’s legitimacy, even though the treaty resulted from the war and the international peace settlement rather than being created by the republic alone. Option B is the opposite of the historical effect: the treaty did not give the government full support. Option C is false because opposition continued and even grew. Option D is false because Germany was treated as a defeated power, not a winner. Therefore A is correct. A useful chain is: defeat led to Versailles; Versailles caused humiliation; humiliation was transferred to Weimar. Memory cue: Versailles damaged Weimar politically through blame, not support.
