B
Germany had to pay reparations to other nations.
C
Germany gave up territory that helped create Poland.
D
Germany had to sign a war guilt clause in the treaty.
E
The United States could not join the League of Nations.
F
Germany claimed colonies from the UK and France.

Explanation

The Treaty of Versailles required Germany to pay reparations, surrender territory that helped form the new state of Poland, and accept responsibility for the war through the war guilt clause. Alsace-Lorraine was returned to France, not given to Germany. Germany’s colonies were taken away, and the United States’ decision not to join the League of Nations came from the Senate’s rejection of the treaty, not a treaty provision.
