The Treaty of Versailles

I thought that the Treaty of Versailles was mainly unfair to Germany, since what is they're invaded by another nation, I don't really think that they can defend themselves with only 100,000 soldiers 6 battleships, 6 light cruisers, 12 destroyers and 12 torpedo boats. I also thought it was kind of unfair the way the treaty made made it so that Germany's allies were also blamed for the damage, but Germany had to pay for all of the damage done to the civilians and property of the Allied Governments (33 billion dollars), even though they weren't the only ones causing the damage, the least the Allied Governments could have done was to equally distributed the fine to all of Germany's allies. In conclusion, I thought that the Treaty of Versailles was way too unfair on Germany, and maybe if it were a little bit less harsh, it might have even prevented the 2nd world war from ever happening.
