Answer 1

Answer:

A major provision of the Treaty of Versailles was that it demanded Germany to pay large war reparations.

Explanation:

The Treaty of Versailles was a peace treaty signed by European powers that officially ended World War I, with Germany classifying it as an imposition. After six months of negotiations in Paris, the treaty was signed as a continuation of the November 1918 armistice in Compiegne, which had put an end to the clashes. The main point of the treaty was that Germany should accept all responsibilities for causing the war and that it should make reparations to a number of nations of the Triple Entente.

The terms imposed on Germany included the loss of part of its territory to a number of border nations, of all colonies over the oceans and on the African continent, a restriction on the size of the army and compensation for the damage caused during the war. The Weimar Republic also agreed to recognize Austria's independence. The German foreign minister, Hermann Muller, signed the treaty on 28 June 1919.  

In the treaty a commission was created to determine the precise size of the repairs that Germany had to pay. In 1921, this figure was officially set at $ 33 million. The charges to be borne with this payment are often cited as the main cause of the end of the Weimar Republic and the rise to power of Adolf Hitler, which inevitably led to the outbreak of World War II only 20 years after the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.
