Treaty of Versailles

I thought that the Treaty of Versailles was mostly fair to Germany. I agree that the countries of Austria, Czechoslovakia, and Poland all have their independence. The treaty called for Germanys military to be reduced which I think was fair due to the destruction that was caused. Germany and her Allies were to accept responsibility for all damages but it was unfair that only Germany had to pay ($33 billion). I also felt that Germany was being blamed a bit too much for the cause of the war, it was not all their fault, the war began due to the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. In conclusion I felt that if the money was distributed evenly throughout Germany and their Allies the Treaty of Versailles would have been much more fare to Germany.
