Question

Who accepted the Guilt of WWI with the War Guilt Clause?
A. Italy
B. Germany
C. Japan
D. France

Answer 1

Hint WWI was a Global War that was originating in Europe that was fought from \[28\] July \[1914\] to \[11\] November \[1918\] between several nations that included Germany, Russia, France, China, The US, etc. to name a few.

Complete Stepwise Solution
Article \[231\] of the Treaty of Versailles is also known as the War Guilt Clause and it stated that Germany was responsible for the beginning of WWI. This war guilt clause was included to make the French and Belgians agree to reduce the sum of money that Germany had to pay to compensate for the war damage. The article was seen as a concession to the Germans by the negotiators. Due to this, it was bitterly resented. However, still, all the Germans do not feel that they were responsible for the war. This article was a constant thorn to the Weimar Leaders who tried to meet the terms of the treaty while
trying their most to get those modified.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.

Notes This initially started in July \[1914\], when the European continent was divided into two groups, the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy and the Triple Entente of France, Russia, and Britain. The Triple Alliance was defensive in nature and Italy stayed out of all this till \[1915\] and joined the Allied Powers after its relation with Austria-Hungary got bitter. The allied powers were later joined in by many more members.
