The Treaty of Versailles ended World War I and imposed significant reparations and territorial losses on Germany..
The Treaty of Versailles, signed on June 28, 1919, officially ended World War I and imposed significant reparations and territorial losses on Germany.
The treaty was negotiated at the Paris Peace Conference by the Allied Powers, primarily France, Britain, and the United States, without much input from Germany.
The treaty blamed Germany for the war and required it to pay substantial financial reparations, disarm its military, and cede territory to neighboring countries. It also established the League of Nations, aimed at preventing future conflicts. The harsh terms of the Treaty of Versailles are often cited as contributing factors to the rise of extremism in Germany and the eventual outbreak of World War II.
