Respuesta :

Germany was left in a weak state, Hitler assured stability and peace.

The correct answer is: "Germany was left humiliated, and Hitler promised to regain German pride and spread German culture throughout the world".

The Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 after WWI, by the victorious allied powers and Germany. Germany was considered guilty for all the losses beared due to the conflict and was oblied, through this treaty, to pay economic reparations to some of the victorious Entente powers.

Germany was also forced to delimitarize and to keep its armed forces and weapon production at a minimum, to guarantee that they were uncapable of undertaking an offensive action again.

This requirements severely damaged the German economy, causing a big recession and even an hyperinflation crisis. Germany felt humilliated and this is one of reasons why, when right-wing extremist and nationalist forces, leaded by Hitler, emerged promising to stop that situation and to restore German pride and to put Germany in the position it deserved as the strongest European power, Germans supported Hitler.
