The closing chapter of WWI and page one of the first chapter of WWII.

where was the Treaty of Versailles signed

The Treaty of Versailles was the peace settlement signed after World War One had ended in 1918 and in the shadow of the Russian Revolution and other events in Russia. The treaty was signed at the vast Versailles Palace near Paris - hence its title - between Germany and the Allies. The three most important politicians there were David Lloyd George, Georges Clemenceau and Woodrow Wilson. The Versailles Palace was considered the most appropriate venue simply because of its size - many hundreds of people were involved in the process and the final signing ceremony in the Hall of Mirrors could accommodate hundreds of dignitaries. Many wanted Germany, now led by Friedrich Ebert, smashed - others, like Lloyd George, were privately more cautious.

The treaty of Versailles brought an official end to hostilities to WWI in 1919. It limited Germany's Military size and armament capabilities. Including but not limited research and development of planes, ships and mechanized vehicles, thus severely inhibiting the Germans ability to wage war. It also held the Germans financially responsible to allied forces, which broke the German gov't. The absolute burden placed on them created anger and resentment among the people which eventually led to a search for national pride. This void began to fill in the early to mid 1930's in the form of Adolph Hitler's Nationalist Party. The Nazi's. As a footnote, the implementation of the Marshall Plan after WWII sought to help rebuild a war torn nation to prevent a recurrence of the lessons learned at the end of WWI.

What is the impact of versailies treaty on European politics in 1919-1939?

The Versailles treaty had a major impact on politics in Germany, as Hitler played on it to gain popularity amongst the German people. Thus, it helped to end the Weimar Republic government and brought the Nazis to power. Without it, Hitler would not have been able to play on how 'harsh' Germany was treated after the first world war. By ignoring the treaty, Hitlers actions eventually helped lead to the second world war.
