The Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 to try to fix the problems that caused World War I. However, it didn’t really solve many issues and left things messy.

1. Militarism:

   • The treaty placed strict limits on Germany's military power. But, it didn’t stop other countries from building up their own armies. This made people upset and made some want to rebuild their military.

2. Alliances:

   • The goal of the treaty was to break up the alliances that started the war. Unfortunately, it didn’t make international relations any better. Instead, new alliances formed because countries were scared of each other, keeping the mistrust going.

3. Imperialism:

   • The treaty changed borders and broke up empires but ignored what many groups wanted. This left a lot of people unhappy and created more problems, especially in places like the Balkans and the Middle East.

4. Nationalism:

   • The treaty both held back and sparked pride in national identity. Land was given to different countries without thinking about the people who lived there. This led to more conflicts later on.

To fix these problems, countries needed to work together better and really try to make peace. Real discussions that addressed the deeper issues could have helped create lasting peace instead of quick fixes.
