The Treaty of Versailles was considered a humiliation for Germany primarily because Germany was blamed for the war and severely weakened. The treaty enforced harsh reparations and territorial losses on Germany, which contributed to a sense of national humiliation and resentment. Additionally, the treaty held Germany responsible for the war by placing the blame squarely on them, encapsulated in the "War Guilt Clause." This combination of blame and punishment deeply affected German national pride and contributed to political and economic instability in the years that followed.
