" Although the settlement was never accepted by the US Congress, the Germans had no choice but to bow to the treaty’s demands. However, the great bitterness and economic upheaval caused by the Versailles agreement directly contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the outbreak of the Second World War only 20 years later, in 1939."

Conclusion
It was a major turning point in history because not only did it mark the end of the World War, it was also a fresh start for many countries since now they would no longer be in the war. But, many people believed that the treaty was unsuccessful since not only did it not stop WW2 from happening, it also caused even more dispute between the Germans and the rest of the world, since they thought the treaty was very harsh. In addition, it made the allies unsatisfied, because they believed that Germany deserved harsher punishments. As a result, Germany lost all their overseas colonies and vital industrial territory, also, Germany had to take full responsibility for all the damage caused in the World War, paying for it and repairing the damages that it left.
