the Treaty of Versailles
/ðə ˌtriːti əv vɜːˈsaɪ/
/ðə ˌtriːti əv vərˈsaɪ/
- the agreement, made in 1919 between the Allies and Germany, which officially ended the First World War and established the League of Nations. According to the agreement, Germany was severely punished. It was forced to pay large amounts of money for damage done during the war, tight restrictions were placed on the number of armed forces it was allowed to have, and it lost possession of large areas of territory. This helped to cause poverty and disorder in Germany, and many people believe that the Treaty of Versailles created the circumstances which led to the Nazis coming to power and therefore to the Second Worlfd War.
凡尔赛条约：1919年盟国与德国之间达成的协议，该协议正式结束了第一次世界大战并建立了国际联盟。根据协议，德国受到严厉惩罚。它被迫为战争中造成的损失支付大量金钱，对允许其拥有的武装部队数量施加了严格的限制，并且失去了大片领土。这导致了德国的贫困和动乱，许多人认为《凡尔赛条约》创造了导致纳粹上台并因此导致第二次沃尔夫德战争的环境。
