Treaty of Versailles Key Provisions

The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, imposed territorial, military, and financial terms on Germany. Territorial changes included returning Alsace Lorraine to France and giving parts of East Germany to Poland. Militarily, Germany's army was limited to 100,000 men, with restrictions on its navy and air force. Economically, Germany faced heavy reparations and was barred from joining the League of Nations. The treaty was unpopular in Germany and its terms were later reversed by Hitler, contributing to the onset of World War II.
