The signing of the Treaty of Versailles was a major event for Germany, marking that Germany has since become a small regional country, because the loss of about 15 percent of the coal mines and more than half of the iron and steel industry has caused the German economy to collapse, the number of laid-off workers has increased, and the unemployment rate has reached 30 percent.

The unemployment rate in Germany has reached 30 percent, which shows that Germany is in the midst of collapse.

In addition, the army will gradually reduce nearly 5 million soldiers, and this reduction of 5 million soldiers will even disrupt the original order and cause more workers to be laid off.

The unemployed spend their days reading newspapers, smoking, queuing for food, making noise at welfare departments, or wandering aimlessly in parks and street corners. Men huddle together in the waiting room to keep warm or forage for food in the garbage bins. Their clothes have become tattered and worn out, making it even more difficult to find work because they are disheveled.

In the year of the Treaty of Versailles, more than 500 per million people committed suicide in Germany, compared with about 100 in Britain and 150 in the United States.

Because women are paid less well, it is easier for them to find work, while husbands and children stay at home, a gender reversal that often discourages families. Despair also spreads among children, who are infected by the emotions of their parents. The children were malnourished and extremely tired.

In the big cities, some young people have joined anti-social gangs, juvenile delinquency, prostitution, vagrancy and sabotage are increasing all the time, and the number of detainees in juvenile detention centres and juvenile prisons is rising, and in some places they are even full.

The Treaty of Versailles was a great blow to the minds of all Germans, and any article of the treaty was unacceptable to the common people, and it made them miserable.

Lorraine and Alsace divided to France?

Why?

Why are Lorraine and Alsace the inherent territory of the French?

Although historically Lorraine and Alsace were mostly French territories, European history is chaotic, and from the beginning of the European national awakening marked by the appearance of Joan of Arc, Alsace was the territory of the Holy Roman Empire from the beginning, called the Duchy of Lorraine, these two regions were the ancestral lands of the Habsburgs, the feudal ruling family of Germany, and did not belong to France, and then after the Thirty Years' War (a Europe-wide melee in the 17th century), Lorraine and Alsace were ceded to France. Since then it has become French territory.

For centuries, Lorraine and Alsace became disputed territories between Germany and France.

German is still used in the local government, schools and education, and the University of Strasbourg in Alsace continues to accept German students.

Alsace has the Vosges Mountains as its border with France, but does not have a similar natural border with Germany. Therefore, before the French Revolution, Alsace had always retained German culture and was more dependent on Germany economically, in addition to the right to tax and garrison, plus a large degree of autonomy, so Alsace seemed to be a German city.

The people of Lorraine and Alsace speak German almost all of them, and in terms of religion, culture, and food, the people of these two regions are the same as the Germans, and very different from the French.

Moreover, it has been forty-eight years since Lorraine and Alsace were annexed to Germany, and the second and third generations have grown up, and they all consider themselves Germans, and according to international law, when a region has been occupied for fifty years, if there is no complaint to the League of Nations during this period, or if there is an agreement, it is deemed to have consented to the transfer of the territory.

With two years to go, Lorraine and Alsace automatically became Germany's "sacred and inviolable territory."

How could the German people be willing?

The disgraceful treaties depressed the will of the whole of Germany, and the dregs of society rose to the top, and the upright and industrious people thought they were being exploited by the idlers, and the money they got was spent in nightclubs and hotels, while doctors and students were forced to do manual work or forage for food at soup kitchens.

University professors earn less money than tram conductors, academics' daughters are used to wearing ultra-short skirts, going to bars, and working as nude dancers in nightclubs, and this is not an isolated case, and tens of thousands of middle-class people are forced to leave their rented apartments and start eating vegetarian food. A poor noblewoman became a bar girl, a retired naval officer made a movie, and the daughter of a provincial judge could no longer expect her father to give him warm clothes as gifts in the winter.

The government's policy of affirming that "the mark is the mark" has plunged the recipients, the thrifty and those living on their meagre rental income into a state of poverty and insecurity......

In the five months since the Treaty of Versailles was signed, the number of suicides has been comparable to the total number of suicides in the previous five years.

The political situation in the country was also turbulent, with the outbreak of revolution in Bavaria and the establishment of Soviet power, and the workers' strike, which led to the occupation of the Ruhr industrial area by tens of thousands of workers.

Even Berlin was occupied by the rioting workers and revolutionaries, and the Weimar government fled to Stuttgart for a time.

If such a Germany is not governed, it will indeed fall into the abyss and collapse.

Under these circumstances, the Weimar government implemented a series of reform measures to stabilize the country.

For enterprises and factories, the government has implemented a tax reduction policy, and the tax revenue has been reduced by 10 percent at once. In addition, at the time of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles, Britain and the United States were really afraid that Germany would be torn apart, so they changed the previous tax of 25 percent to only 20 percent.

In this way, German factories and enterprises only need to pay about 30 percent of the tax, which is only 10 percent more than the previous 20 percent tax revenue, so that German goods will not be uncompetitive and unprofitable in the world.

In order to save unemployment and save the economy, the Weimar government also convened a number of sociologists and economists to form the Economic Revitalization Committee.

This Economic Revitalization Committee also includes Hitler, and almost all the capitalists in Germany are in the Economic Revitalization Committee, so why did they join the Economic Revitalization Committee?

The reason is very simple, I want everyone to contribute money and efforts.

There are also domestic strikes that can be tolerated, but insurrectionary revolutions are not tolerated, and once there is an insurrectionary revolution, the army will be directly sent to strangle them, and the domestic movement will be temporarily stabilized.

After Hitler returned from France, after spending some time in Hamburg and Bremen, he heard that his aunt Johanna was sick and hospitalized, and after Hitler's parents died, it was always his aunt Johanna who took care of his family, so Hitler should go to see it anyway, so Hitler stayed in Munich, Bavaria.

ps: I was a little busy some time ago, and after the Dragon Boat Festival, I had some time to write novels.
