Which statement about the Versailles peace terms is true?

• A. They imposed war guilt on Germany.
• B. They included reparations and territorial losses.
• C. They dissolved the League of Nations immediately after signing.
• D. They restricted German military capabilities.

Answer: (A)

The key idea here is how the peace terms framed the punishment after the war. The War Guilt Clause formally placed responsibility for starting World War I on Germany and its allies. That clearing of responsibility provided the legal basis for demanding reparations, imposing territorial losses, and setting strict limits on the German military. Because this clause underpins the punitive measures and shapes the whole tenor of the treaty, it is the most defining statement of the terms.

By contrast, the League of Nations was created by the treaty and did not dissolve immediately after signing, so that option isn’t accurate. The treaty did include reparations and territorial losses, and it did restrict German military capabilities, but these are consequences of the guilt clause rather than the defining feature itself.
