The Treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles was a treaty signed after World War 1. The treaty was signed at the Versailles palace in Paris. The treaty left effect's to Germany's territorial, financial, military and general. In military Germany reduced the number of soldiers 100,000 men; the army was not allowed tanks. She not allowed an air force, she was allowed only 6 capital naval ships and no submarine.
Financially Germany was suffering, from the lost territories; the country could not maintain economicaly. Trades with coal from other countries were a huge loss to Germany economicaly. Germany was also forbidden to unite with Austria to form one superstate, in an atempt to recover from the loss.
The Treaty was not liked by germans, most of the them did not want to sign it but they had to. It's either they sign it or be invaded by the Allies.
