Some of the key provisions of the treaty were:

Germany lost a large tract of its territory (25,000 square miles) and millions of people (7,000,000) to the allied nations. Poland was the biggest beneficiary and gained almost 20,000 square miles of land. Germany had to let go of Poland and cede several other territories to France and Belgium. A number of German colonies were lost to Britain, France, Japan, Australia, and other allied countries.Military restrictions were also imposed on Germany and its military strength was limited to 100,000 men. Former soldiers were not allowed to rejoin and conscription was banned. Germany was prohibited from maintaining an air force and its naval strength was also limited to a bare minimum.Germany was also held responsible for the war and was required to pay about $31 billion. To ensure Germany's compliance, Allied forces captured and maintained a portion of German territory for 15 years.

The worst provision was the fine on Germany (point 4, above), which later on contributed to the rise of Hitler.
