Traité de la paix avec l'Allemagne (Treaty of Peace with Germany)

The Traité de la paix avec l'Allemagne, signed in 1919, was the formal peace treaty that officially ended World War I between Germany and the Allied Powers. It outlined Germany’s obligations, including territorial losses, military restrictions, and reparations for damages caused during the war. The treaty aimed to prevent future conflicts but also caused resentment in Germany, contributing to political and economic instability. It marked a significant shift in European geopolitics, establishing new borders and laying groundwork for the League of Nations, and remains a key document in understanding post-war Europe.
