Armistice/ Treaty of Versailles + Aftermath
Treaty of Versailles – the treaty imposed on Germany by France, Great Britain, U.S. and other Allied Powers after WWI. It demanded that Germany dismantle its military and give up some lands to Poland
This is a link to a video that talks about the Treaty of Versailles and how it affected the Germans.
The Armistice- a series of peace treaties between Germany and the allies that influence the ending of WWI. Some of the terms that were required in the Armistice were the Germans had to evacuate all German occupied territories as well as 555,000 pieces of military equipment lost.
These requirements seem intense and possibly too harsh but the French thought that the requirements in the Armistice and The Treaty of Versailles were too lenient. This led to contrast between French rulers and the rulers of other countries.
The Treaty of Versailles and the Armistice were two of the peace negotiations that influenced and aided the ending of WWI. Some of the other treaties that helped the ending of the war are The Treaty of Brest Litovsk and The Treaty of Bucharest.
