How were the Central Powers punished and land by the Treaty of Versailles?

The Treaty of Versailles, signed in 1919, imposed severe penalties on the Central Powers, particularly Germany. It required Germany to accept full responsibility for the war, leading to significant territorial losses, including Alsace-Lorraine to France and parts of Prussia to Poland. Additionally, Germany had to pay hefty reparations and faced military restrictions, limiting its army and prohibiting conscription. These punitive measures aimed to weaken Germany and prevent future conflicts but ultimately contributed to economic hardship and political instability in the country.
