Question

1.) List two ways that Germany was punished after WW1.

Answer 1

Answer:

1) They were forced to pay war reparations and give up territory

2) Russia lost many men and their economy struggled

Explanation:

1) The Treaty of Versailles punished Germany by forcing them to pay war reparations, admit culpability for the start of the war, and cede territory.

2) With about 5.5 million out of 16 million soldiers killed and wounded, the Russian Empire appears to have suffered less than France and Germany. But that does not take into account some other facts: 500,000 soldiers missing, 3 million prisoners of war, 1.1 million disabled, 6 million refugees and tens of thousands of civilian victims. Also the huge strain on the economy would prove unbearable, with chronic food and fuel shortages in urban areas contributing decisively to the revolution in the capital, Petrograd, during February-March 1917.
