Answer
(R) is the reason for (A)
Explanation — The Treaty of Versailles was signed to end the First World War and to establish a framework for peace that would prevent future wars. However, the treaty's harsh terms, particularly those imposed on Germany, led to widespread resentment and economic hardship, which contributed to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the outbreak of the Second World War.
