Peace treaty after World War I between the
Allies and Germany, signed 28 June 1919. It
established the League of Nations. Germany
surrendered Alsace-Lorraine to France, and
large areas in the east to Poland, and made
smaller cessions to Czechoslovakia,
Lithuania, Belgium, and Denmark. The
Rhineland was demilitarized, German
rearmament was restricted, and Germany agreed
to pay reparations for war damage. The treaty
was never ratified by the USA, which made a
separate peace with Germany and Austria 1921.
