Detailed explanation-1: -The Treaty of Versailles was signed by Germany and the Allied Nations on June 28, 1919, formally ending World War One. The terms of the treaty required that Germany pay financial reparations, disarm, lose territory, and give up all of its overseas colonies.
Detailed explanation-2: -The treaty forced Germany to disarm, to make territorial concessions, and to pay reparations to the Allied powers in the staggering amount of $5 billion.
Detailed explanation-3: -The German army was to be limited to 100, 000 men. Conscription was forbidden. The treaty restricted the Navy to vessels under 10, 000 tons, with a ban on the acquisition or maintenance of a submarine fleet. Germany was forbidden to maintain an air force.
Detailed explanation-4: -Hitler used this as an excuse to send German military forces into the Rhineland. This move was the first of many direct violations of the Treaty of Versailles by Adolf Hitler. Again, like with the Saar region, Great Britain and France did nothing substantial in reaction to this break of the treaty.
