1. To disarm Germany. The treaty limited the size of the German military and prohibited it from having certain weapons, such as submarines, tanks, and airplanes.
2. To weaken the German economy. The treaty imposed heavy reparations payments on Germany, which further weakened its economy and made it difficult for it to recover from the war.
3. To change Germany's borders. The treaty stripped Germany of some of its territory, including Alsace-Lorraine to France, Eupen-Malmédy to Belgium, and West Prussia, Posen, and Upper Silesia to Poland.
4. To create new states in Central and Eastern Europe. The treaty created new states in Central and Eastern Europe, such as Czechoslovakia, Poland, and Yugoslavia, in order to weaken Germany's influence in the region.
5. To establish a League of Nations. The treaty established the League of Nations, an international organization that was supposed to promote peace and prevent future wars.
Ultimately, the Treaty of Versailles failed to achieve its goals and instead contributed to the outbreak of World War II. The treaty was seen as unfair and punitive by many Germans, and it created a sense of resentment and nationalism that led to the rise of the Nazi Party.
