German actions and experiences during World War I affected them after World War I ended. Germany had an aggressive plan during World War I. Their goal was to quickly defeat France on the Western Front and then turn to the Eastern Front to defeat Russia. They also began to sink our ships without warning during the war, which violated our rights as a neutral nation. This eventually brought us into the war on the side of the Allies.
Germany also began to use new weapons during the war. The Zeppelin airship was used to drop bombs on the Allies. The submarine was used to launch surprise attacks on Allied ships. They also used chlorine gas as a weapon. The flamethrower was another new weapon that Germany used. These weapons, along with the use of trench warfare, caused significant damage, death, and destruction during World War I.
After World War I ended, the Allies wanted to punish Germany. The terms of the Versailles Treaty were very harsh on Germany. Germany had to pay the Allies $33 billion in reparations. These payments crippled the German economy after the war. This contributed to a significant economic depression in Germany. Germany also had to accept the responsibility for World War I. This angered many Germans. These factors helped to convince the German people to turn to a dictator to lead them. Adolf Hitler used the depression and the alleged insult to German pride to eventually seize power and lead Germany on a path toward World War II. German actions during World War I affected them after the war ended.
