Vengeance! German Nation! Today, in the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, Germany is being forced to sign a disgraceful treaty. Never forget this day!

There will be vengeance for the shame of 1919. –Deutsche Zeitung, June 28, 1919 How does this passage reflect the reaction of many Germans at the end of World War I?
