Part 7/17:

• Territorial Losses: Germany had to relinquish Alsace-Lorraine to France, parts of Posen and Silesia to Poland, and colonies overseas. These territorial concessions aimed to weaken Germany’s military and economic strength.

• Disarmament: The German military was severely restricted—limited to 100,000 volunteers, with bans on tanks, submarines, aircraft, poison gas, and large warships. The Rhineland was demilitarized and occupied by Allied forces.

• Reparations and Resources: Germany was compelled to pay reparations, including surrendering its merchant fleet, coal resources, and chemical stocks. Billions of marks in reparations were planned to compensate the Allies for war damages.
