The Treaty of Versailles (ended WW I)

The treaty of versailles made germany give up a lot of there land. They also had to pay reparation to other countries. Everyone blamed germany for everything. By them losing so much they had to live under other countries shadows. They barely had any resources or any armed forces for protection. Then they couldn't keep up with the reparation payments and french troops were moved in. I don't think the treaty was fair and i do believe that it is was led to fascism in germany. I also believe that the treaty sparked the rise of Adolph Hitler. I think historians say it did because he was such an angry guy and the treaty pissed him off.

Secular is being separate from your religion. Mustafa Kemal made the country of Turkey secular. He did it by getting the muslims of the country not to where fez's or different clothes then everybody else. He thought they should dress alike with the Europeans. Mustafa Kemal was also known as Ataturk. That means father of the turks. He was the president of turkey for 15 years then he died. But he was the one to modernize Turkey. Because of him Turkey is the most modern muslim country in the world!!!
