"The treaty of Versailles was unjust, and led to the hatred against the West in Germany."

You can keep repeating this, but you won't convince anyone who has ever bothered to study the subject.

Maybe you should read up on the treaty the German imposed upon the defeated Russians just a couple of years before:

Treaty of Brest-Litovsk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Brest-Litovsk

It makes the Versailles Treaty look like a love note.

Moreover, the Versailles Treaty was immediately and constantly ameliorated -- until by the 1920s the US was pumping in massive amounts of foreign aid.

And as to the larger point of German militarism, WWI was at the time only the latest in a near constant succession of Germany's wars motivated by their desire to gain hegemony in on the Continent.

Read a book, why don't you?

You seem to be rather uninformed about Versailles. But thankfully, even British schoolbook authors have understood that this treaty was the root for WW2. Claim what you want, two wrongs don´t make a right. Never ever.
