The outcome of the Treaty of Versailles for Germany after World War I was predominantly punitive and led to significant territorial and economic repercussions. Signed in 1919, the treaty forced Germany to accept full responsibility for the war and imposed heavy reparations. Germany lost significant territories, including Alsace-Lorraine to France, and faced military restrictions. This treatment fostered widespread resentment among the German populace and is often cited as a contributing factor to the rise of extremism and the Second World War. The Treaty is a critical example of how post-war conditions can influence future conflicts.
