It greatly limited German borders, limited their military, made Germany pay for the damage done which amounted to billions of dollars and made Germany admit that they caused WWI.

It was important when German troops went to the Rhineland because it violated the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which prohibited German military presence in the area. This act challenged the authority of the international community and marked Germany's rearmament, paving the way for its expansionist ambitions leading up to World War II. It also tested the resolve of Western powers to uphold the treaty and confront German aggression.
