INTRODUCTION
• Versailles was only about Germany, the other treaties dealing with
the rest of the losers.

3 MORE TREATIES CAUSED TROUBLE
• Treaty of Saint Germain (1919) dealing with Austria:
-separated Austria from Hungary
-stopped Austria joining with Germany
-took land away (Bosnia)
-made Austria limit its army
-created new countries
• Treaty of Trianon (1920) dealing with Hungary:
-took land away (Croatia)
-made Hungary reduce its army
-created new countries
• Treaty of Sevres (1920) dealing with Turkey:
-lost land and part of Turkey became mandates (Syria)
-Turkey lost control of the Black Sea

CONSEQUENCES OF THESE 3 TREATIES
• New countries like Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia were formed out of
Austria-Hungary.
• Austria and Hungary’s separation was important – and the fact that
Austria was not allowed to join with Germany.
• Both Austria and Hungary suffered badly after the war.
• The Turks hated Sevres. Turkish nationalists like Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
resisted the treaty and forced some later changes – in the Treaty of
Lausanne (1923).
• This reduced the amount of territory to be lost by Turkey and
scrapped all the reparations. The Arabs who fought alongside the
Allies did not gain as much as they’d hoped.

THE TREATIES HAD SIMILAR RESULTS
• All the defeated countries lost land, and had to disarm.
• They were all punished, following the pattern of Versailles.
• Versailles, St. Germain and Trianon were the harshest treaties –
Germany, Austria and Hungary lost valuable industrial land.
• Bulgaria was not so badly treated because it had not played such a
big part in the war.
• Countries which were created or increased because of the treaties –
like Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia and Poland – were now governing
people of many different nationalities.
• Czechoslovakia had Germans, Slovaks, Hungarians, Poles, Ukrainians
and over 6 million Czechs.
