How did the Treaty of Versailles punish Germany after WWI?

The
presence of the desire to punish Germany was evident from the start of the process in drafting
the Treaty of Versailles.  On one hand, President Wilson actually sought to create a set of
terms which was more benevolent to Germany.  Yet, in order to secure the support of Britain and
France, there had to be more of a punitive tone in the terms of the treaty.  Since Wilson needed
their support, and this was their price, he ended up acquiescing.  The terms of demanding war
reparations from Germany, preventing future rearmament, and ensuring that there was a
significant land loss as a result helped to punish Germany, as it was seen as a step to prevent
Germany from exercising such aggression in the future.  In reality, what ended up transpiring
was that the Treaty helped to solidify and consolidate German resentment to the point where the
Treaty became a symbol of all who stood against Germany, and, in the process, starting the
Second World War.
