The Treaty of Versailles, which ended World War I between the German Empire and the Allied Powers, had a specific clause in Article 231. The clause is known as the War Guilt Clause. It was the opening article of the reparations section of the Treaty of Versailles.

The war guilt clause was an article in the Treaty of Versailles, issued to the defeated axis alliance after the first world war. This clause meant that all of the blame for starting the war would be placed on Germany. Obviously, the Germans did not like this and felt like they had been 'stabbed in the back' by their government. Many Germans were very patriotic at the time and wanted revenge on the victorious allies. This meant that war was quite likely to bring about a second war against the allies.

The war guilt clause refers to Article 231 of the Treaty of Versailles (1919) and is unrelated to World War 2.
