Treaty of Versailles


The Treaty of Versailles was signed on the 28th of June in 1919 in the Versailles Palace near Paris. This treaty ended the war between Germany and the Allied Powers. This was signed exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand, which started World War I. It took a lot of effort to come to an agreement with the German Government. It caused Germany to lose 25,000 squares miles of land of territory and 7,000,000 people.
