The Treaty of Versailles codified peace terms between the victorious Allies and Germany after the end of World War I.
The treaty was signed in June 1919 at the Palace of Versailles in Paris at the end of World War I.
The treaty deemed Germany the aggressor in the war and made Germany responsible for making payment for the losses and damage they had sustained in the war.
The population and territory of Germany were reduced by about 10 percent by the treaty.
The German army was restricted to 100,000 men; the manufacture of armored cars, tanks, submarines, airplanes, and poison gas was also forbidden.
The treaty also established the Permanent Court of International Justice and the International Labour Organisation.
