To what extent was the Treaty of Versailles the most important result of the First World War?

To answer any question in history we need to pull out key terms from the wording of the question. In this question, 'Treaty of Versailles' and 'most important result' are the key terms, so keep them at the forefront of your mind when you're writing your answer.In part the question is asking how can you determine what makes something important, and in many ways it's up to you to come up with your own definition of what 'important' is. It can include things like biggest economic impact, or biggest impact on people's daily lives, or bearing in mind the consequences of a certain thing. Give a brief overview of what 'important' means in your introduction, and then outline in every paragraph why a certain factor is or isn't important.This question asks you to give an overview of the importance of different results of the First World War. You could structure it something like this:Introduction - what results are you going to discuss? Come to a brief conclusion about why one of them is more important than the others, and define what you mean by important.Paragraph one - always start with the term given in the question. The Treaty of Versailles was important because it had huge financial impacts on the countries involved, which in turn had an impact on the lives of ordinary Germans, which in turn had an impact on the rise of the far right in Germany, and therefore the second world war. Drop in a couple of key facts - reparations were £6.6 billion, Germany was humiliated by being forced to accept full responsibility for the war, etc. Then think about some ways in which the impact might not be as big as all that - was demilitarising the Rhineland actually progress towards peace?For your other paragraphs, discuss some other results of the war. The number of deaths in the participating countries might be a good place to start. What about the way the war impacted the women's rights movement? Or the rise of the League of Nations?To conclude, come to a judgement - don't sit on the fence, but decide whether the Treaty was the most important result. You can always conclude 'to some extent' but make sure you're giving a reason why you think that, referring back to your own definition of 'most important' throughout.
