• A. Both A and R are incorrect
• B. A is correct and R is incorrect
• C. A is incorrect and R is correct
• D. Both A and R are correct

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both A and R are correct

The Treaty of Versailles was a source of discontentment to both Italy and Germany. It failed to provide many nations involved in the treaty a favourable outcome. To Italy, it was unable to give the regions it desired. Germany, on the other hand, was made to pay massive war reparations, and was stripped of its territories and military. This discontentment, along with post-war problems like depression and weak governments led to the rise of Nazism and Fascism.
