The '''Treaty of Versailles''' was signed in 1919, it was  the treaty that ended [[World War I]]. France wanted to punish [[Germany]] for the War, and Britain wanted to disarm it.  This treaty accomplished both.  It limited the size of the German army and prohibited it from having submarine, an air force, or factories to make weapons.  Germany was also required to pay reparations of $33 billion over a thirty year period.  In the end, the peace treaty proved far too harsh on Germany and only created hard feeling that made it easier for Hitler to come into power. It can be claimed that just the opposite of its intention was achieved since it finally lead to more war. It doesn't excuse the deeds of Hitler and Nazi Germany.
