Treaty of Versailles
The Treaty of Versailles was the peace treaty signed in 1919 between the Allied powers and Germany after the First World War. It imposed territorial losses, military restrictions and reparations on Germany, stripped it of its colonies, and included the War Guilt Clause. Accounts of the German Empire treat it as the final settlement of the empire's defeat, whose resentments shaped the politics of the Weimar Republic.
