Analysis of the Treaty of Versailles Terms

Source A: Excerpts from the Treaty of Versailles

"The Treaty of Versailles imposed severe restrictions on Germany's military capabilities, including limiting the army to 100,000 soldiers, forbidding conscription, and prohibiting the manufacture of tanks, aircraft, and submarines. It also mandated the return of Alsace-Lorraine to France and required Germany to accept responsibility for the war, paying heavy reparations that crippled its economy. The treaty also established the League of Nations to maintain peace and prevent future conflicts. These terms aimed to weaken Germany and ensure lasting peace, but many believed they were too harsh and sowed the seeds for future resentment and conflict." Provenance: Excerpt from the official Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919.
