What was Germany's reaction to the military restrictions imposed on them?

How did the Germans react to the demilitarisation of the Rhineland?
It was only to protect France. Clemenceau had wanted it to be set up as an independent state controlled by France as it borders France. However, he had to accept that it stayed German as mostly Germans live there
3 of 9
How did the Germans react to the War Guilt Clause?
They felt like they had been blame for what the Kaiser and other countries had done to them. There was a new government set up in Germany that argued that it was unfair that they was blamed for the behaviour of the previous government.

6 of 9

They felt more secure with the German army being reduced and them paying reparations. However many French wanted an independent Rhineland because they doubted that the LON would protect them from Germany
7 of 9
What was the American's reaction to the TOV?
The LON was a success for Wilson. However, in 1920, the Senate refused to join the League or sign the TOV.
8 of 9
What was the German's reaction to Reparations?
It was far too much considering they had lost most of its industrial land due to the Treaty. The longer the reparations went on, the longer it would take for the bitterness of the war to die
