Germany was not happy at all after WWI. This has several reasons. On an economic level, the Peace Treaty at Versailles imposed heavy reparations payments on Germany (the sum of which was not even defined until 1927). Furthermore, The area around the Rhein-Ruhr rivers, Germany's main industrial area, was occupied by France and became a demilitarized zone, with much of the coal production going to France.
On a political level, the system of a Republic was imposed upon Germany. Ever since 1815, this system had won a lot of supporters within Germany, but there were still many 'Royalists' which wanted to maintain the Empire.
Another very contentious issue was a condition of the Versailles Treaty which forced Germany to accept sole responsibility for the outbreak of World War I. Though Germany was certainly involved in the lead-up to the war, many would argue that attributing sole responsibility to one country is a gross oversimplification.
The peace treaty thus bred a strong desire for revanchisme in many, and was commonly refered to as "die Schmach von Versaille" (the ignonimy of Versailles)
France wanted a gazillion dollars to compensate for the damages and their army size was restricted. They also took some of Germany's lands. This all happened even though the German army was never defeated. So the angry soldiers went home and had kids, twenty years later the kids had grown up and started world war 2.
They lost land in East Germany which would become known as the polish Corridor which was a buffer if Germany was to invade again. The German imperial family was stripped of all titles and power and a republic established. It would become known as the weimar republic. In addition the German Army could not be over 100,000. lastly the German/French border (Rhineland) was demilitarized.
Their economy was pretty crappy because of the results of WWI they had to pay huge fines, HUGE for the damages they made.
