Paris Peace Treaty

The Paris Peace Treaty was a set of agreements signed in 1919 that officially ended World War I. It involved the Allies (like France, Britain, and the U.S.) and Germany, among others. The treaty imposed penalties on Germany, including territorial losses, restrictions on its military, and the responsibility for the war. It also established new borders and created the League of Nations, an organization aimed at promoting peace. The treaty aimed to prevent future conflicts but also caused resentment in Germany, influencing future events. Overall, it shaped the post-war world and the course of 20th-century history.
