The Treaty of Versailles was aimed towards punishing Germany after WWl. When Germany invaded Poland, the Soviet Union also invaded Poland.
Germany lost alot of land in the Treaty of Versailles took land from Germany and gave it to France, Belguim,  Denmark, Czechoslovakia, and Poland.  There land of overseas was taken by the League of Nations.

Germany was not given or allowed tanks, an Air Force, submarines. They were reduced to only having 6 naval ships. Germany had to pay 33 billion to the Allied Powers. That put Germany into a depression, and that helped Hitler rise to power. Germany had to admit full responsibility for causing WWl.

A League of Nations was made to keep World Peace. A world wide peace keeping group of countries. No military force. Required everyone to favor the action the were going to take.
