III. The third problem was that it eliminated the opportunity to include Germany or the U.S. in the League of Nations.
III. 3 MAJOR PROBLEMS CAUSED BY THE TREATY
II. The second problem resulting from the treaty was the isolation of Italy. It was denied territory that was ‘unofficially’ promised. Bitterness began brewing there.
I. The first problem was that the treaty kept the German Economy so weak that people became bitter toward the Weimar Republic (the government put in place by the Allies after WWI) and left the door open for a dictator.

1. One of the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles was an international peace keeping body called the League of Nations. The U.S. would not join the League because they wanted to stay out of Europe’s problems, this is the reason why the League of nations would not be successful. 2. This international body was created from the 14 points proposed by President Woodrow Wilson. The League of Nations is the predecessor to the United Nations [created after World War II].
