Treaty Terms After World War I
The draft peace pact strips Germany of its fleet and army, curbs military growth, imposes reparations, and blocks trade dominance. It assigns Saar coal output to France, seeks restitution to France and Belgium, demolishes Heligoland, frees Kiel Canal, and returns Alsace Lorrae to France while forcing Kaiser Wilhelm’s trial. It redraws borders to 1871, dismantles Rhine defenses, repels colonial claims, seizes colonial debts, and enforces transit rights and river internationalization.
