Answer
Italy joined the Allies in the First World War to gain territories of Turkey and Germany. But by the Treaty of Versailles, she could get only Southern Tyrol and Trentino, and the Coastal Regions of Dalmatia. She could get no part of German and Turkish colonial empire.
Germans looked down upon the Weimar Republic which had signed such a disgraceful treaty. Germany was forced to cede large chunks of her territory and her overseas colonies were divided among the Allies. Germany was forced to pay heavy reparations of 33 billion dollars and total strength of its army was fixed at one lakh. The terms of this treaty were greatly resented by the Germans who eagerly looked for an opportunity to avenge the same. These sentiments were exploited by Hitler.
Hence, the Treaty of Versailles lead to the rise of dictatorship.
