Treaty of Versailles: An overview

Germany was infamously debilitated by the extremely harsh terms of the treaty. The size of the country was reduced, alsace-lorraine was given back to France, and other lands were given to Belgium, Denmark, and the newly-established Poland. Germany also had to admit defeat in the war clause of the treaty. Military stipulations were also a large part of the treaty; the army was reduced to 100,000 men. Poison gas and airplanes were prohibited from being manufactured. Parts of Germany had to be completely demilitarized. Another part that is slightly underlooked is that Germany had to surrender African colonies to the United Kingdom and France, and Pacific and Chinese colonies to Japan.

Another well known result, or rather infamous was the creation of the League of Nations, an international forum of countries, a precursor to the ubiquitous United Nations we have today. The United States would never become a member, despite it originally being proposed by the incompetent Woodrow Wilson. The League of Nations never was a success, and took no steps to stop the rise of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan.

Despite not being very talked about, Bulgaria was part of the Central Powers in World War I. The Treaty of Neuilly was signed in Late November 1919, and forced that the Bulgarian army had to shrink to 20,000, and had to give up land to Greece and the now-gone Yugoslavia. Britannica

These treaties ended fighting between the Central Powers and the Soviet Union in early 1918. Negotiations started on December 22 of 1917. On March 3, after prolonged and fierce delegation, the Soviets accepted a treaty in which they would lose Finland, the baltics, and the short-lived 1910s Ukraine. Brittanica

The treaty of Sèvres was the first of two treaties between the Allied powers and the new Turkish government. The first treaty called Turkey to lose their areas in Arab Asia, an independent Armenia, and to give up land to Greece. This treaty was rejected and replaced by the Treaty of Lausanne, which defines modern borders of Turkey to this day. Brittanica x2

After a few years of political instability and revolution, Hungary received a treaty, which was possibly the harshest treaty in terms of land loss. Hungary lost about two-thirds of their land by treaty terms, including the loss of Slovakia, Western Hungary was given to Austria, Croatia-Slovenia was given to Yugoslavia. Romania received Transylvania, and Italy received Fiume. And after all this, Hungary's army was reduced to 35,000. Britannica

This treaty was signed at Saint-Germain-en-Laye in France. This treaty marked the end of the long reign of the Habsburg, officially recognizing the states of Czechoslovakia, Poland, Hungary, and Yugoslavia. Additional land was ceded, including Trento, East Galicia, South Tirol, Trieste, and Istria. The navy was disbanded and the army was forced to remain at 20,000. Brittanica
