The results of the Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, had significant implications for European boundaries and geopolitics. The treaty imposed harsh reparations on Germany, redrawing its borders and leading to territorial losses, including Alsace-Lorraine to France and parts of Eastern Germany to Poland. This redistricting aimed to weaken Germany and maintain peace but bred resentment and nationalistic fervor. The treaty also established the League of Nations, promoting diplomacy and cooperation among nations. However, failed enforcement and ongoing grievances contributed to instability, laying groundwork for future conflicts, most notably World War II.
