What are the parts of the Treaty of Versailles?
Blame
Germany had to accept the blame for starting the war, as well as the blame for all the loss and damage the war caused the allied countries. This sparked a lot of ager among Germans who knew that Germany was not solely to blame for the devastation of the war.
Reparations
Because they had 'caused all the damage', they had to compensate the allies sufficiently. The amount decided on was £6600 million; a unattainable figure for a war-crippled country.
Army
Germany had to severely limit their armed forces. Only 100,000 men were allowed in their army, and 15,000 in their navy. They were allowed no battleships, no Luftwaffe (airforce), no tanks and no submarines. Not only was this unfair for a country of Germany's size, but it also damaged her pride as the army had aways been a symbol of Germany's prestige among European nations.
Territory
Germany lost 10% of her land, also losing 12.5% of her population. She lost all her overseas colonies too including Togoland and Cameroon. The Saar, an industrious coal mining region was lost the the League of Nations for 15 years, and The Rhineland, part of Germany bordering France, was to be demilitarised. Germany was also split from West Prussia by the Polish corridor. They also lost Alsace-Lorraine, Upper Silesia, Eupen and Malmedy, Memel and North Schleswig.
