Przegrana przez Niemcy I wojna światowa spowodowała konieczność przyjęcia warunków pokoju, które zostały określone postanowieniami traktatu wersalskiego, podpisanego 28 czerwca 1919 r. Został on opracowany przez zwycięskie mocarstwa, a Niemcy zostały zmuszone do przyjęcia jego postanowień. Z tego tytułu w dobie Republiki Weimarskiej określano układ pokojowy jako „dyktat wersalski”. Oponowały przeciwko mu wszystkie siły polityczne, a konieczność jego podpisania spowodowała pierwszy po rewolucji listopadowej kryzys rządowy (ustąpienie gabinetu Philippa Scheidemanna w czerwcu 1919 r.). Z biegiem czasu kurczyło się grono zwolenników republiki i demokracji parlamentarnej. Krytycy przemian dokonanych po upadku monarchii Hohenzollernów oskarżali socjaldemokratów, którzy stanowili podstawę tzw. koalicji weimarskiej, o sprowadzenie na Niemcy nieszczęścia w postaci krzywdzącego i haniebnego układu pokojowego. Z kontestacji „dyktatu wersalskiego” największą korzyść osiągnęli naziści. Po objęciu władzy Adolf Hitler doprowadził do rewizji traktatu wersalskiego metodą faktów dokonanych, co ostatecznie spowodowało wybuch II wojny światowej. Przedmiotem rozważań w niniejszym artykule jest analiza okoliczności, w jakich doszło do podpisania traktatu wersalskiego, przedstawienie jego postanowień oraz wpływ powszechnego sprzeciwu wobec narzuconego układu pokojowego na kierunek ewolucji systemu politycznego Republiki Weimarskiej.

The First World War, lost by Germany, made it necessary to accept the terms of peace, which were determined by the provisions of the Versailles Treaty, signed on June 28, 1919. It was developed by the victorious powers, and Germany was forced to accept its provisions. In this regard, in the era of the Weimar Republic, the peace agreement was described as „the Versailles dictate.” All political forces opposed it and the need to sign it caused the first government crisis after the November revolution (the resignation of Philipp Scheidemann’s cabinet in June 1919). Over time, the group of supporters of the republic and parliamentary democracy was shrinking. Critics of the changes made after the collapse of the Hohenzollern monarchy accused the Social Democrats, who formed the basis of the so-called Weimar coalition, of bringing to Germany the misfortunes of a harmful and shameful peace. The Nazis gained the most from the criticism of the ‘Versailles dictate’. After assuming power, Adolf Hitler revised the Treaty of Versailles by the method of fait accompli, which eventually led to the outbreak of World War II. The subject of consideration in this article is the analysis of the circumstances in which the Versailles Treaty was signed, the presentation of its provisions, and the impact of widespread opposition to the imposed peace agreement on the direction of the evolution of the political system of the Weimar Republic.

When the Great War came to an end, Europe was opened to various possibilities how to keep and ensure the peace. The concept of the collective security and disarmament won, despite of wishes and ideas of some politicians. Not every country was to keen to disarm its army capacity for the future uncertain promise of the collective security. For that reason, many politicians were eager to obtain special guarantees of their security, or security of all Europe. As the years went by, statesmen begun to realize that the Versailles Peace Treaty was not a sufficient element which should have to assure the peace in Europe. Many supplementary projects, treaties have been made to follow the path of maintain the peace after the war. None of them were fully realised. And some of them pursued another hidden targets. That is also an example of the Four-Power Pact. It is understandable some politicians wanted to reflect national interests into the international projects, like the Four-Power Pact. Benito Mussolini himself supported national feelings of unsatisfied results of the Great war for Italy, no matter how they were justified. The Four-Power Pact should have been the chance for Italy to be in an active role in a field of European politics. And what is the most important — to be a determinant of that politics and to change European order according to the Italian vi
