    B) the rise of fascism in Germany.

    Explanation:

    Fascism is a political system in which a powerful leader has state control, and is being extremely proud of the country, and race and no opposition is allowed. The leader exhibits total control, dominance and is often be authoritarian and a dictator.

    The Treaty of Versailles places the first world war burden guilt entirely on Germany, and imposed harsh reparations payments and created an increasingly unstable collection of smaller nations in Europe.

    The Versailles Treaty forced Germany to give up territory to Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland, return Alsace and Lorraine to France and surrender all of its overseas colonies in China, Pacific, and Africa to the Allied nations.

    Article 231 of the treaty placed all the blame for inciting the war solely on Germany and forced it to pay several billion in reparations to the Allied nations.

    This Treaty of Versailles made Germany repay other countries for the expense of the war, causing Germany to go into economic chaos.

    It was due to the this long-lasting resentment of the Versailles Treaty that the National Socialist (Nazi) Party and other radical right-wing parties in Germany were able to gain support in the 1920s and early '30s by promising to overturn the harsh provisions of the treaty and make Germany into a major European power once again.

    Adolf Hitler took advantage of this leading to the rise in the Nazi party and the eventualities of the second war.
