How to do an inference question
From a speech by the head of the German
Versailles delegation to the allied powers,
7th May 1919
We shall be made to pay and, as the guilty,
we shall be punished. We are required to
admit that we alone are to blame for the
war. Such an admission on my lips would be a
lie. We emphatically deny that Germany,
whose people were convinced that they were
waging a war of defence, should be burdened.
with the sole responsibility for the war.
Give two things you can infer from the
Source about German reactions to the
Versailles peace treaty.
