Allies regarded Austria as the successor state of Austria-Hungary, and punished alongside Germany Agreeing to this treaty was like Austria admitting defeat, admitting their empire was broken up, and recognizing loss of territory Czechoslovakia was to be separated from them Additional loss of territory to Italy meant loss of population: a decline of 15 million people Forbidden to join alliances without LoN permission Would have to pay reparations—(but bank collapsed in 1922 and Austria never made a single payment) Austrian army reduced to 30,000
4
Received similar level of blame as Austria Supposed to pay reparations, but never did Loss of Hungarian territory—2/3 loss of land, 42% of population Several groups came under foreign rule despite the idea of self-determination But was it even possible to apply self- determination here? See Source B-map One of the reasons for loss of territory was to keep Russia from the Dardanelles… security over self-determination?
6
Bulgaria had joined the Central Powers in 1915, treated as a defeated power in Paris Land was taken on borders to prevent access to Aegean Sea, and to change borders with Yugoslavia Army size restricted Received (!) part of Turkey Allies were concerned about Bulgaria’s potential dominance in a highly weakened area
7
Main outcomes: divided the Ottoman Empire into new parts & weakened it like Germany, honored the Balfour Declaration and Sykes- Picot, put the Dardanelles in international hands The Ottoman Sultan remained the official ruler, but like Germany in Versailles: his army was reduced, no control on major ports, vulnerable to internal challenges and dependent on the west
9
Turkish nationalists fought for an independent Turkey, drove out minorities, established a new government under Mustafa Kemal Ataturk He refused to recognize the Treaty and wanted a new one… A remarkable turnaround—recognized the Republic of Turkey instead of all the tiny states created by Sevres Dardanelle Straits remain under international control Border between Turkey and Iraq to be decided later
