Treaty of Versailles

The Treaty of Versailles was the primary treaty produced by the Paris Peace Conference at the end of World War I. It was signed on 28 June 1919 in the Hall of Mirrors at the Palace of Versailles in France.

One of the most controversial terms of the treaty was the War Guilt clause, which explicitly and directly blamed Germany for the outbreak of hostilities.

The treaty forced Germany to disarm, make substantial territorial concessions, and pay reparations to certain countries that had formed the Entente powers.
