The Treaty of Versailles was a very harsh treaty but whether it was good or bad is a matter of opinion.

Germany was seen as a violent, power hungry and money hungry country. The terms of the treaty reduced the size of its army and navy. It was harsh, maybe even too harsh, because all German colonies were given to France, Britain and other countries. The treaty also prevented Germany from uniting with Austria. It made Germany very poor.

Here are the terms of the Treaty of Versailles:

  1. Germany was to accept the blame for starting the war, under the terms of 'War guilt' cause.
  2. Germany was to reduce its army to 100,000 men.
  3. Germany could only have 6 battleships in its navy.
  4. Germany was not allowed to build any aeroplanes, submarines or tanks.
  5. Germany had to pay 6,600 million pounds in reparations to the countries that had won the war.
  6. All Germany's colonies were given to France, Britain and other counties.
  7. Germany was forbidden to unite with Austria.
  8. Germany was to demilitarise the Rhineland.
  9. Alsace-Lorraine went back to France.
  10. Germany also lost a strip of land called the Polish Corridor. This was given to Poland, cutting East Prussia off from the rest of Germany.
