Which statement explains how the provisions of the Treaty of Versailles contributed to the outbreak of World War II? The demilitarized zone created a power vacuum among Allied nations. The German people were angered by the harsh terms of the treaty. The League of Nations was ineffective at enforcing the treaty's provisions. The Allies took advantage of limitations on the German military by invading.

Respuesta :

"The German people were angered by the harsh terms of the treaty" is the best options since the reparations imposed were nearly impossible for Germany to pay off. 

The correct answer is: "The German people were angered by the harsh terms of the treaty"

After WWI, the Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, through which (among other provisions), the victorious powers:  France, UK and Russia imposed to Germany the dismantling of its army and the payment of very abussive war reparations.

These reparations not only exhausted the possibilities of recovery of the German economy, but also generated a feeling of nationalism against the  European powers that were oppressing them. The very complicated economic situation, which led to an hyperinflation crisis, help to gain support for the extreme-right wing nationalist party leaded by Adolf Hitler, which promised to restore German pride and to recover its ancient glory.
