Joseph Stalin became Dictator of the USSR due to his cunning manipulations in forming alliances to protect him. This is shown in him surviving Trotsky's Testament, which demanded he was removed from his position as General-Secretary, by his allies supporting him and convincing the others in the party that he should not be stripped of his position. This shows that Stalin was wise in his choice of forming allies which could support him, knowing well that his position was threatened and taking action to prevent it from happening.

Joseph Stalin became Dictator of the USSR due to cunning manipulation of his political allies and rival. This is shown in his alliance with Lev Kamenev and G.E. Zinoviev, forming a "troika" which discredited Leon Trotsky before the death of Vladimir Lenin. This caused shook Lenin's support within the political party and the people of Russia, which lead to Stalin's trick of preventing Lenin from returning for the funeral of Trotsky, causing him to be absent, to become more effective in discredting him among the people and present himself as a better alternative to Lenin.

The terms France set out for Germany are too harsh, destabilizing their economy and removing military protection of their country. Although this stopped Germany from being a threat for a short period of time, the unhappiness and political upheaval resulting from the Treaty ultimately outweighed the potential benefits.

Ultimately for the British, The Treaty of Versailles was not justified.

With the heavy terms of the Treaty of Versailles weighing on Germany, it caused the German people to be extremely unhappy with the Treaty and the Powers whom crafted the Treaty. This created opportunities for political parties within Germany, including communist parties, to be able to gain greater political power within Germany and pose a threat ot the rest of Europe (i.e. Nazi Party and WWII).

The Treaty of Versailles also placed Germany's economy at stake, which was undesirable by the British government as they needed the German economy to be strong to counterract the spread of communism from Russia as well as bolster the economy of the rest of Europe via trade, which was in shambles after WWI.

Although Britian did receive benefits from the Treaty, such as colonies from Germany and continued naval superiority, these benefits were not nearly enough to outweigh the consequences and prevent a second World War from happening, which was the main goal of the Treaty of Versailles.

In conclusion, the Treaty of Versailles was not justifiable, because it failed to prevent a second World War and instead accelerated the process to a second World War.
