Many new nations came into existence by carving out of the older powers.
Explanation:
The German, Ottoman and the Austro-Hungarian empire were affected the most after the Treaty of Versailles as they were broken up into small nations that asserted their own national identity instead of following the empire.
Turkey came into existence from the Ottoman empire. Austria and Hungary became separate countries and the empire lost half of its landmass.
The German and the empire's borders shrunk much more than their previous territorial gains and many parts of strategic importance were given over to the winning powers.
