<human>:  How did the Treaty of Versailles contribute to the rise of Nazi Germany?
<bot>: The Treaty of Versailles, signed at the end of World War I, was widely seen as an unfair and punitive settlement which imposed significant economic and military obligations on Germany. This caused widespread resentment among the German people, and led to a sharp rise in support for right-wing and nationalist parties, such as the Nazi Party. This helped the Nazi Party to gain prominent positions of power, culminating in the appointment of Adolf Hitler as Chancellor of Germany in 1933. The bitterness caused by the Treaty of Versailles thus played a major role in unleashing the rise of Nazi Germany.
