The terms of the Treaty were very damaging to Germany for a number of reasons: Germany was forced to give up territory to Belgium, Czechoslovakia and Poland, return Alsace and Lorraine to France and cede all of its overseas colonies in China, Pacific and Africa to the Allied nations. Germany had to accept responsibility for starting the war, leading to feelings of humiliation and anger. Germany had to pay reparations of £6.6 billion, which would ensure that the economy would not recover. Germany’s armed forces were severely reduced. The treaty's terms against Germany resulted in economic collapse and bitter resentment which powered the rise of the Nazi Party, and eventually the outbreak of a second World War. Territory was taken from Germany, depriving it of valuable industrial income.
