the treaty of Versailles affected Germany because it didn't permit it to maintain or construct any fortifications either on the left bank of the Rhine or on the right line . The treaty of Versailles also affected Germany because they had a limit on how much power they were able to have in order for the world to be safer .While in prison Adolf Hitler was writing a book this book had a lot of cruelty and violence. Many people thought that Hitler was going to be a good leader because he seemed to be very strong and determined on what he set his mind to .

What were some of the things that Gandhi's did? Gandhi protested against the British because he though they were taking advantage of them and there needs .he protested about them having to buy British made clothes and told them if they only had one piece of cloth like him that they should wear it with pride .Another thing Gandhi did was the salt march he made this march because he though it was wrong that in order to buy and sell salt they need to have permission .
one of Gandhi's famous quotes was "one eye for an eye makes the world blind"this is actually made it very clear that when you get even with another person it takes a longer for you to finally get satisfied with what you are going to do or doing and when your blind you really don't know what your doing and then you might find out its to late to change things so its better to have one poked out instead of two

*extra credit* i think that India's freedom was made possible thanks to Gandhi because he made it clear to them that violence doesn't solve anything and with violence you'll only get more violence and once the violence starts it cant be stoped .
