Answer:
The legislation that played the greatest role in prohibiting the formation and operation of monopolies in the late 1800s the Sherman Anti-Trust Act.
Explanation:
The Sherman Anti-Trust Act of July 2, 1890 was the first attempt by the American government to limit anti-competitive behavior by companies: it thus signified the birth of modern competition law.
The bill aimed at countering the actions of Standard Oil, which was constituted as a trust and not in the form of a company whose rights were, at the time, limited. Ironically, when Standard Oil was dismantled, it had already taken the form of a company, and the Sherman Antitrust Act hardly applied to trusts. It is supplemented by the Clayton Antitrust Act of 1914.
This law has served as a model for the drafting of the basic texts of several competition laws around the world.
They did not have self-government. This meant that they could not govern themselves and make their own laws. They had to pay high taxes to the king. Hope it helpss
Military: Germany was limited to a very small military (no more than 100,000 men of all ranks), and was not allowed to have any heavy artillery. This was to prevent Germany from gaining a military strong enough to launch another attack, but since a strong military was a very important part of remaining a world power, this meant Germany could never hope to achieve this whilst honoring the treaty.
Economic: Germany was forced to pay reparations (as they were being blamed for the war) to many countries, mainly Belgium and France. The amount was far to much for Germany to ever pay off, and was a key factor in Germany's economic crisis shortly thereafter.
Territorial: Germany was forced to give up all of it's colonies, which were given to various League of Nations powers. This was a major loss of land and population for the country, not to mention a loss of money from said colonies, again leading back to economics.
