* Limited to 100,000 man standing army

* No Battleships or any capital ships

* No Air-Force at all allowed

* ALL overseas colonies given to Britain, Australia, South Africa etc

* Many Eastern lands given to Poland, thus cutting off East Prussia from the rest of Germany

* Alsace-Lorraine given to France and a few minor areas given to Belgium

* Small area given to Denmark

And most important of all...

*Gigantic war reparations which Germany only finished paying off a few years ago (from 2013)

After Germany failed to keep up on its war reparations France decided to occupy the Saarland area of Germany and kept it for years. Germany was economically devastated and had a tiny army and so was helpless and at the mercy of France.

*Some other things I have failed to mention, probably some political items.

How was Germany punished by the treaty of Versailles.?

Germany was punished rather severely by the Treaty of Versailles, and for a war that Germany did not even start. Many humiliating limitations were imposed on Germany. The German Army was restricted to a certain size, and there were some weapons they were forbidden from having. The size and number of warships in the German Navy was also limited. For these reasons, few in the German military opposed the Nazis when they rose to take over Germany in the 1930's, as the Nazis appeared to be the best bet for restoring Germany to its pre-WW1 prominence. The Treaty of Versailles paid terrible dividends in the next war, in which Germany was this time the instigator.
