B. forbade countries from engaging in future wars.
C. forbade countries from making secret alliances.
D. forced Germany to accept responsibility for the war.

Answer 1

D. forced Germany to accept responsibility for the war.

• The so-called "war guilt" article of the treaty mandated that Germany and the other Central Powers bear full responsibility for World War I. This entailed giving up areas, reducing military power, and compensating the Allies.
• According to some historians, the Treaty of Versailles was "one of the most terrible acts of political unwisdom our leaders have ever been responsible for," in the words of British economist John Maynard Keynes. They claim it led to the economic and political unrest in Germany that made it possible for the National Socialists (Nazis) to be founded just one year later.
• Other historians point out that the Treaty of Versailles was actually quite restrained—Allied forces did not occupy Germany or any other Central Powers after the war. Germany's reparations would take decades to be fully paid, though. Furthermore, the agreement was significantly more liberal than the armistice agreement (the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk) that Germany compelled Russia to sign when that country attempted to end the war a year earlier.

Hence, option D is correct.
