Sunday June 28, 2009
After three months of negotiating, the five Great Powers (Britain, France, Italy, Japan, and the United States) who participated in World War I agreed on June 28th to a post-war settlement. The "Versailles Treaty" provided war reparations to France, a limit to the size of Germany's army, and the creation of the League of Nations. The League of Nations was a huge sticking point in the United States and would be the reason why the treaty would not ratified by Congress.

And would be the cause of WWII.
This treaty gave Adolf Hitler all the more reason to do the things he did. VT devastated Germany after the war & brought the evil that started WWII
The train car that Germany surrendered in would be the same train car that Hitler would latter use to make France surrender to him in.
