- The treaty of Versailles made germany take responsibility for World War 1. Some effects of the treaty of Versailles for Germany was that they lost 10% of their land. Also 12.5% of Germany's population actually found themselves living outside germany's new borders because of the loss of land. Some of the Rules of the treaty of Versailles was that it would end World War 1, and that Germany would finish paying for World War 1 at year 2020.
I think the treay of Versailles was not fair because they put the whole case on Germany's head. I think that everybody had to be part of the blame because they all started it. All of them should've also payed for the War. I think Historians say that the treaty led to the rise of hitler because Germany was in trouble mostly economy wise and in debt, so they were looking for someone to recover the country.

Ganhi
Gandhi
- Gandhi was a great leader in Indian history. Gandhi tried and succeeded to win India's Independance from Great Britain. Some of the ways that gandhi did this was by stopping to buy British clothes which gave Great Britain a great loss. Next what he did was, he and his people walked 240 miles to the sea cost to make their own salt, this was called the salt march. This means another loss for the British because now the Indians would not buy salt from them. These are examples of civil disobedience, which means going against law without any violence.
Extra Credit: I think that India's Independance came from both Gandhi and his people. The people could not do it without his ideas, and Gandhi cannot do it without the people because it is not a one man job. During this period of time Great Britain was experiencing freat losses and economic downfall.
