Answer 1

The correct response is: Germans hated the Versailles treaty and supported Hitler's actions to defy it.

The Treaty of Versailles, which officially ended World War I, imposed heavy reparations and territorial losses on Germany. This resulted in widespread resentment among the German populace and facilitated the rise of Adolf Hitler, who promised to overturn the treaty and restore Germany's former glory. His actions directly contributed to the aggressive expansionist policies that led to World War II.
