•Territorial

•Alsace-Lorraine (given to France)
•Eupen and Malmedy (given to Belgium)
•Northern Schleswig (given to Denmark)
•Hultschin (given to Czechoslovakia)
•West Prussia, Posen and Upper Silesia (given to Poland)
•The Saar, Danzig and Memel were put under the control of the League of Nations and the people of these regions would be allowed to vote to stay in Germany or not in a future referendum.
•The League of Nations also took control of Germany's overseas colonies.
•Germany had to return to Russia land taken in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Some of this land was made into new states : Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. An enlarged Poland also received some of this land
•Military
•Germany’s army was reduced to 100,000 men; the army was not allowed tanks
•Germany was not allowed an 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 a demilitarized zone (DMZ). 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.
•Financial
•The loss of vital industrial territory would be a severe blow to Germany’s economy. Coal from the Saar and Upper Silesia in particular was a vital economic loss.
•Combined with the financial penalties linked to reparations($33 billion), it seemed clear to Germany that the Allies wanted nothing else but to bankrupt them.
•Germany was also forbidden to unite with Austria to form one superstate.
