Treaty of Versailles

the treaty of versaille effected germany alot. the treaty stated that germany was suppose to give up some of there land. there was no more army men, and they took all arms weapons. September 10, 1919, established the Republic of Austria, consisting of the truncated, German-speaking regions of the Habsburg state. The Austrian Empire ceded crown lands to newly established successor states like Czechoslovakia, Poland, and the Kingdom of Slovenes, Croats, and Serbs, renamed Yugoslavia in 1929. It also relinquished the South Tyrol, Trieste, Trentino, and Istria to Italy, and Bukovina to Romania. An important tenet of the treaty barred Austria from compromising its newly formed independence, which effectively barred it from unification with Germany, an aspiration long desired by PGermanists and an aim actively advocated by Austrian-born Adolf Hitler and his National Socialist Nazi Party. The other portion of the Dual Monarchy, Hungary also became an independent state: under the terms of the Treaty of Trianon June 4, 1920, Hungary ceded Transylvania to Romania; Slovakia and Transca rpathian Rus to the newly formed Czechoslovakia; and other Hungarian crown lands to the future Yugoslavia. The Ottoman Empire signed the Treaty of Sevres on August 10, 1920, ending hostilities with the Allied Powers; but shortly thereafter a Turkish War of Independence began. The new Republic of Turkey,established in its aftermath, signed a superseding Treaty of Lausane in 1923 effectively partitioning the old Otoman Empire.
