Answer - 8

Read the passage carefully and choose the best answer to each

question out of four alternatives.

The terms of the Treaty of Versailles were harsh and not for

negotiation. Germany lost 13 percent of her territory, which meant

12 percent of Germans now lived in a foreign country, and

Germany’s colonial possessions were redistributed among the other

colonial powers. The German Rhineland, on the border with France,

was to be demilitarized and placed under Allied control until 1935.

The small but industrially important Saar region was to be governed

by Britain and France for fifteen years and its coal exported to

France in recompense for the French coal mines destroyed by

Germany during the war. After fifteen years a plebiscite of the Saar

population would decide its future.

Most of West Prussia was given to Poland. The German city of Danzig

(modern-day Gdansk) was made a ‘free’ city so that Poland could

have use of a port. To give Poland access to Danzig, they were given a

strip of land, the ‘Polish Corridor’, through Prussia, thereby cutting

East Prussia off from the rest of Germany.

Militarily, Germany’s army was to be limited to a token 100,000 men,

and its navy to 15,000, plus a ban on conscription. She was not

permitted to have an air force, nor tanks, and was prohibited from

producing or importing weaponry.

The payment of reparations was for ‘compensation for all damage

done to the civilian population of the Allied powers and their

property’. It was to include raw material, such as the coal from the

Saar and Ruhr regions. Two years later, in 1921, the cost of

reparations was announced £6.6 billion, which German economists

calculated would take until 1988 to pay. The figure shocked and

angered Germans who conveniently forgot that Germany had

demanded an even greater sum from a defeated France following the

Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71.
