That ticking time bomb destined to breed resentment among the Germans, that onerous one sided 'agreement'?
" "This is not peace, this is an armistice for 20 years.""
" We shall have to fight another war again in 25 years time."
" "Never in the history of man has such vindictiveness cloaked itself in such unctuous sophistry."
" We arrived determined that a Peace of justice and wisdom should be negotiated; we left the conference conscious that the treaties imposed upon our enemies were neither just nor wise."
That thing? It was a cause of hitler's rise. That it was there for him to tear up was a gift to his cause.

A nation is always going to want to be able to field an army. Not being allowed to breeds resentments.
Breaking these 'agreements' isn't the cause of WWII, the 'agreements' themselves were the cause.

For example?
