Treaty of Versailles
The Treaty of Versailles states peace between Germany and
the Allied Powers at the end of World War I. It was signed exactly five years
after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. Even though the treaty
ended the war it didn't apply to the Central Powers (the ones allied with
Germany) and there were later treaties created for them. Because of this there
was six months of war after the war ended.
One of the terms of the treaty was that Germany and the
other Central Powers had to accept responsibility for causing the war. It was a leading cause of World War II. Under
the treaty, Germany was forced to allow the Allied Forces to occupy Rhineland
for fifteen years. Germany wasn’t allowed to have more than 100,000 soldiers,
it’s navy was limited to 15,000 men. There was no exporting or importing of weapons.
