Road to WWII 1919 - 1941.
Treaty of Verailles - was the official treaty to end WW1. WW2 started because Hitler wanted to get back land that was lost in WW1. He wanted to get back all German people not in his country.
Following land was taken away from Germany :
Alsace-Lorraine (France)
Eupen and Malmedy (Belguim)
Northern Schleswig (Denmark)
Hultschin (Czechoslovakia)
West Prussia, Posen, and Upper Silsesia. League of Nations also took control of Germans overseas colonies.
Military - Germany's army was reduced to 100,000 men, the army was not allowed tanks.
Germany was not allowed to have airforce.
Germany was allowed only 6 capital naval ships and no submarines. The west of the Rhineland and 50 kms east of the River Rhine was made into demilitarized zone. No German soldier or weapon was allowed into this zone. The Allies were to keep an army of occupation on the west bank of the Rhine for 15 years.
