The Treaty of Versailles affected Germany in the following way:

>  The rhineland area was demilitarised and was to be administered by allied troops for the following 15 years. The strength of the German army was reduced to 1,00,000 and navy to 15,000. The airforce and submarines were banned.

>   Germany had to ced large parts of its territorry to various victorious nations. France got Alsace Lorraine, Belgium recieved Eupen-et-Malmady, Schleswig-Hostein was restored to DEnmark and Danzing was made a free Polish port. Chekoslovakia and Yugoslavia recieved independence.

3 factirs that let ti the dictatorial regime of Hitler  in Germany are as follows:

* Discontent and Humiliation due to Treaty of Versailles: The Germans felt extremely humiliated by the terms of the treaty wich accused Germany of aggression, had her pay war reparations of $ 33 billion and divided her pre war territorries and colonies among the allies. Hitler openly encouraged them to disregard the Treaty and start building anew.

*Threat of Communism: The growing communism in Russia had some influence on Germany as well - they won some seats in Reichstag. An alarmed Hitler convinced the Germans that German Communists would be slaves of their Russian masters and only the Nazi party could curb their growing influence.

*Economic Crisis: The WWI and then the Treaty of Versailles forced Germany into a miserable economic state. It suffered on the agricultural front, trade and commerce and forign investment. The peasents were in a debt of $ 30 milion by 1931. Hitler promised to condone this debt and won over the capitalists by stating that the industries would be free of nationalism. He promised to build Germany and restore its past glory.

The Sarajevo Crisis lead to the First World War in the following manner:

* Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir apparent to the throne of the Hapsburg Lorraine dynasty of Austria was assassinated on June 28 1914 by a Serb extremist society called "Black Hands" or the "Union of Death" in Sarajevo, the Serbian capital.

*Austria served an ultimatum on Serbia but Serbia didn't concede to all the demands. especially those that took away its sovereignty.

*As a result, Austria declared war on Serbia. Russia prepared to support Serbia. Germany declared war on Russia and France and then Britain declared war on Germany.

*All the major world powers where drawn into war and as a result the World War 1 began.
