What was the treaty of Versailles? Treaty that ended world war 1.
Who was there? Wilson, US, Great Britain, France, and Italy.
Major points of it? 14 points of Wilson..
Austria- Hungary was affected a lot. Yugoslavia, Poland, and Finland were created after WW1.
What the treaty did to Germany- territorial loss.. lost land to France, Denmark, Poland, Czechoslovakia and Belgium. Lost their colonies over seas. Germany's army was reduced to 100,000 men and the army wasn't allowed tanks. No air force, allowed only 6 capital naval ships and no submarines. France wanted Rhineland to become a country so that if Germany tried to attack France, they would know about it before.. but it never became a country and Germany wasn't allowed troops there. Germany had to pay 33 billion dollars to France and Great Britain. They weren't allowed to join with Austria. Germany had to admit for full responsibility for starting the war. Failure.
League of Nations was set up to keep world peace.
What did the US do with it? We never signed the Treaty of Versailles. Congress was concerned about always being in European wars if we were part of the league of nations. They thought league of nations was going to be their government and be able to tell them when they could go to war. We signed a separate peace agreement ending the war.
