Explanation

The Treaty of Versailles required Germany to pay reparations and accept responsibility for the war through the war guilt clause. Germany also lost territory, including land used to reestablish Poland. Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France, not given to Germany, and Germany did not claim British or French colonies. The United States’ decision not to join the League of Nations was not a provision of the treaty.
