Why do you think it would be a problem that the first action of the new German government was to sign a humiliating armistice

The fact that Germany signed an armistice with almost humiliating conditions, the Treaty of Versailles, was a long-term problem. Indeed, this treaty imposed on Germany an enormous responsibility regarding the beginning of World War I, when in fact it was not this nation the one that started the conflict. Thus, the very high amount of fines that was imposed caused the nation to go into inestimable levels of debt, which ended up completely dismantling the nation's economy, unleashing hyperinflation and generating poverty among its inhabitants. This economic and social situation, added to the humiliation felt by the Germans for being overwhelmed by France and Great Britain, was what caused the totalitarianism that years later to develop that led to Hitler's rise to power.
