The Treaty of Versailles caused World War 2.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
5 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that the Treaty of Versailles caused World War 2?

Partly. Several reference and scholarly sources describe the Treaty of Versailles as a contributing factor that helped pave the way for World War II, while one historian (Evans) disputes that it was the main cause of National Socialism. None of the retrieved items establishes that the treaty was the sole or decisive cause the claim asserts.
