Answer:
The peace treaty at Versailles with the
Allies was a harsh and humiliating one. Germany lost its overseas colonies, a
tenth of its population, 13 per cent of its territories, 75 per cent of its
iron and 26 per cent of its coal to France, Poland, Denmark and Lithuania. The
Allied powers demilitarised Germany to weaken its powers. The War Guilt Clause
held Germany responsible for the war and damages the Allied countries suffered.
Germany was forced to pay compensation amounting to about 6 billion pounds. The
Allied army also occupied the resource-rich Rhineland for much of the 1920s.
Many Germans held the new Weimar Republic responsible for not only the defeat in
the war but the disgrace at Versailles.
