Question

One effect of the Treaty of Versailles was that Germany O aligned with Italy and France O lost its African colonies O re-emerged as part of the Ottoman Empire • gained independence from Alsace-Lorraine

Answer 1

Germany's loss of African colonies was one of the outcomes of the Treaty of Versailles, which imposed heavy reparations and territorial concessions on Germany after World War I.

Step-by-step explanation:

One effect of the Treaty of Versailles was that Germany lost its African colonies. This treaty imposed severe penalties on Germany following World War I, which included a war guilt clause implying Germany's acceptance of responsibility for the war, the requirement to pay substantial reparations, and significant territorial losses.

Germany had to return Alsace and Lorraine to France, lost around 13% of its European territory, and also surrendered its overseas colonies, thus weakening the country both economically and militarily, setting the stage for future turmoil.
