6. Were the Versailles treaties fair? Consider all the nations affected

Even if it did bring benefits to other countries affected by the war because they were not condemned as guilty and another nation was going to pay for the reparations, it was completely unfair. The treaty punished just Germany knowing that the fault of the war was of everyone. Plus, people in Africa and Asia were not comfortable with the fact that their claims of independence were ignored. Every nation took a role in the war and took action and the only one, which had to assume the true economic and military consequences, was Germany

7. Why might European allies have been more interested in punishing Germany tan in creation a lasting peace?

Because they felt that all o the responsibility and guilt of the Great War was because of Germany and its ideals. They thought that the fact that Germany had been constantly active during the war since the very beginning till the very end made it the cause of the war and not the true causes such as nationalism, which eventually lead to militarism. Plus, the creation of a lasting peace may had bring several restrictions to all nations while if Germany was the only one punished the rest were going to be benefitted out of this decision.
