Probably because it was very hard on Germany and produced a sense of humiliation and unfairness for the Germans.
Explanation:
The treaty was quite hard (considering that most of the Germans could not understand the defeat or refused the idea of having lost the war) forcing Germany to pay huge war compensations in money, military hardware and land.
The Germans resented also the fact that basically Germany was forbidden to have an army making her a second rate country from the military point of view.
Hitler used the idea of fighting against the treaty to "delete the shame of the unjust conditions of the treaty" to create popular support for his political agenda.
