Germany had to give up substantial territory to Poland, Lithuania, and France. Germany had to give up ownership of mines and factories in French territory and in the critical Ruhr area of Germany. Germany had to pay cash reparations to France and England, which crippled the country. The economic destruction prevented real recovery from the war, led to bank, insurance, and stock failures, and was one of several causes of the Great Depression of 1929 - 1939.
