Short and sweet: German diplomats were excluded from the Paris negotiations, leading to the Versailles Treaty effectively being a diktat (or at least being perceived as one).
What if this were not the case, and German diplomats were present at Paris? What might have gone differently? Would the Treaty be seen as more 'fair' or in better faith to Germans?
