<em>With these provisions the Treaty of Versailles threatened Germany with defeat. </em>
Many defeated the German army whereas others deprived the vanquished country of territory, economy and population wealth and pressured it to take responsibility for both the war and end up having to pay compensation.
The key terms of the Treaty of Versailles were:
Capitulation of all German colonies as mandates of the League of Nations.
The shift to France of Alsace-Lorraine;
Surrender of Eupen-Malmedy to Belgium, Memel to Lithuania, Hultschin to Czechoslovakia.
