The Terms of the Treaty

On 28 June 1919, the victors met at the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles, near Paris, and forced two Germans to agree to the terms of peace.

  

Germany was not allowed to send any delegates, and had no choice but to accept whatever was decided.

   

The first 26 Articles of the Treaty set out the Covenant of the League of Nations; the rest of the 440 Articles detailed Germany's punishment.
