Introduction to the Treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919, officially ending World War I. It imposed heavy penalties and restrictions on Germany. The treaty's terms included territorial losses, military limitations, and reparations. These terms were meant to weaken Germany but also caused resentment that contributed to future conflicts.

Source A: Excerpt from a British politician's speech in 1919

'The treaty must ensure Germany is disarmed and held accountable for the war. It must strip them of their military power and make them pay for the damages.'

Provenance: Speech by David Lloyd George, British Prime Minister, 1919.
