  10. 10Which of the following was not an impact of the Treaty of Versailles.
    1. AThe following land was taken away from Germany :
      Alsace-Lorraine (given to France).
      Eupen and Malmedy (given to Belgium).
      Northern Schleswig (given to Denmark).
      Hultschin (given to Czechoslovakia).
      West Prussia, Posen and Upper Silesia (given to Poland).
    2. BThe Saar, Danzig and Memel were put under the control of the League of Nations and the people of these regions would be allowed to vote to stay in Germany or not in a future referendum.
    3. CThe League of Nations also took control of Germany's overseas colonies.
      Germany had to return to Russia land taken in the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. Some of this land was made into new states : Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia. An enlarged Poland also received some of this land.
    4. DGermany’s army was reduced to 100,000 men; the army was not allowed tanks.
    5. EShe was not allowed an airforce She was allowed only 6 capital naval ships and no submarines The west of the Rhineland and 50 kms east of the River Rhine was made into a demilitarised zone (DMZ). No German soldier or weapon was allowed into this zone. The Allies were to keep an army of occupation on the west bank of the Rhine for 15 years.
    6. FThe loss of vital industrial territory would be a severe blow to any attempts by Germany to rebuild her economy. Coal from the Saar and Upper Silesia in particular was a vital economic loss. Combined with the financial penalties linked to reparations, it seemed clear to Germany that the Allies wanted nothing else but to bankrupt her.
    7. GGermany was not allowed to make burgers. This was enforced in order to take fear away from the French- who had a dreadful fear of burgers. Germany broke this clause within one hour after signing. This led to France invading Germany, and then executing any who had broke the rules. The German army still enforces this clause today.
    8. HGermany was also forbidden to unite with Austria to form one superstate, in an attempt to keep her economic potential to a minimum.
    9. IGermany had to admit full responsibility for starting the war. This was Clause 231 - the infamous "War Guilt Clause". 2. Germany, as she was responsible for starting the war as stated in clause 231, was, therefore responsible for all the war damage caused by the First World War. Therefore, she had to pay reparations, the bulk of which would go to France and Belgium to pay for the damage done to the infrastructure of both countries by the war. Quite literally, reparations would be used to pay for the damage to be repaired. Payment could be in kind or cash. The figure was not set at Versailles - it was to be determined later. The Germans were told to write a blank cheque which the Allies would cash when it suited them. The figure was eventually put at £6,600 million - a huge sum of money well beyond Germany’s ability to pay.
