Detailed explanation-1: -1) The Treaty of Versailles marked the end of the First World War. 2) The Treaty of Versailles helped Germany to prosper. Both the statements are true.
Detailed explanation-2: -From idealism to punishment The treaty itself was predicated on Germany’s guilt for the war. The document stripped Germany of 13 percent of its territory and one tenth of its population. The Rhineland was occupied and demilitarized, and German colonies were taken over by the new League of Nations.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Treaty of Versailles was a peace document signed between Imperial Germany and the Allied Powers on 28th June 1919. The treaty ended the state of war that had existed between Germany and the Allies from 1914 and brought World War I to an end.
