The Terms of the Treaty of Versailles - correct answer-1. War Guilt
2. Reparations
3. German Territories and Colonies
4. Germany's armed forces
5. League of Nations
War Guilt - correct answer-This clause was simple but was seen by the Germans as
extremely harsh. Germany had to accept the blame for starting the war.
Reparations - correct answer-The major powers agreed, without consulting Germany, that
Germany had to pay reparations to the Allies for the damage caused by the war. The exact
figure was not agreed until 1921 when it was set at 6,600 Million pounds. If the terms of the
payement had not later been changed under the Young Plan in 1929, Germany would not
have finished paying this bill until 1984
German Territories and Colonies - correct answer-Germany's European borders were very
extensive, and the section dealing with German territory in Europe was a complicated part of
the Treaty. In addition to these changes, the Treaty also forbade Germany to join together
(Anschluss) with its former ally Austria. Germany's overseas empire was taken away. It had
been one of the causes of bad relations between Britain and Germany before the war.

- Conscription was banned; soldiers had to be volunteers
- Germany was not allowed armoured vehicles, submarines or aircraft

League of Nations - correct answer-- Previous methods of keeping peace had failed so the
League of Nations was set up as an international 'police force'.
