As a member of the German military in 1919, two terms of the Treaty of Versailles that would significantly impact me are:
- Military Limitations — The treaty imposed severe restrictions on Germany’s military. The German army was restricted to 100,000 officers and men, and conscription was forbidden. This would mean a significant reduction in force size and potentially job losses within the military.
- Demilitarization of the Rhineland — All of Germany west of the Rhine and up to 30 miles east of it was to be a demilitarized zone. This would limit the military’s operational scope and strategic positioning.
