Austria Stripped by Peace Terms at St Germain
At St Germain France on June 4 the Austrian delegation received the terms of peace after a 15 day reply window. Dr Karl Renner pledged loyalty to accept the Allied framework as Clemenceau and other leaders observed.

The treaty mirrors the German outline with changes for new states and regional rights. The session concluded after translations and Renner’s courteous address.
