The Treaty of Versailles laid the blame for the outbreak of the Great War primarily on Germany and its allies, stating that Germany had committed acts of aggression and violated international law. The treaty imposed large-scale reparations on Germany and limited its military capabilities in an effort to prevent future aggression.
