Answer:

Gained Territory.

Step-by-step explanation:

Germany, in the Treaty of Versailles, for sure had to pay for war reparations that had left them in huge debt, had to sign the war guilt cause that forced them to take full responsibility for everything that happened in the war and their military was limited and cut down causing many Germans to be angry, as their military had been a source of pride for them. However, I don't believe that gained territory was a provision that affected Germany.

Answer:


\boxed {\boxed { \sf A. \ Gained \ territory}}

Step-by-step explanation:

After World War I, the Paris Peace Conference began to discuss the terms and end of the war.

The US wanted to establish the 14 Points and create peace to avoid another war, but Britain, France, and Italy were set on punishing Germany. The Treaty of Versailles had many provisions that affected Germany:

  • War Reparations: pay roughly $32 billion for damages caused by the war
  • War Guilt Clause: accept full responsibility for the war's outbreak and all damages/losses from it
  • Demilitarization: reduce their military power (no air force, tanks, or submarines and only 100,000 men allowed in the army)
  • Territory Loss: returned Alsace-Lorraine to France, give up all colonies, and their country's border was reduced.

So, the answers choices of paid war reparations, signed the war guilt clause, and miltary was limited are all true. However, Germany did not gain any territory. In fact, they lost it!

A provision that did not affect Germany in the Treaty of Versailles was A. gained territory.
