ReplyDeleteGermany must decrease its army to 175,000 troops and must surrender all naval vessels from battleships and U-boats to merchant ships. They must also pay American, British, French, Italian, and all other Allied powers excluding Russia for their losses from the war. Germany will also lose the territory they gained from the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk and large parts from southern and western Germany. The southern German lands will go to the French, the western German lands will be formed into individual states, one being the new large Poland nation, and the land confiscated from Treaty of Brest-Litovsk will be divided amongst Italy, France, and England.
As for the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it will be no more. Because of the great courage, loyalty, and patriotism the mighty Italian army showed in their epic annihilation of the Austro-Hungarians, Italy will gain all of this once major power with the exception of a small part being given to Serbia to form Yugoslavia. Bulgaria will also be placed under Italian control and law.
The Ottoman Empire will be divided equally amongst the British and the French. The French will get present day Turkey, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, while England receives the rest of this fallen empire. All German overseas colonies will be split between Italy, England, and France. The U.S. has stated it wants out of all land claims.
Germany will be stripped of all rights to trade with anyone in the allied powers and will lose access to any allied port and if a ship flying the German flag comes in allied waters it is subject to military acquirement by allies. This will be in the form of walking on the ship and arresting the captain and his crew. The only time shots will be fired is if the captain refuses orders which will be direct violations of this treaty.
We, the undersigned, agree to honor all of the above terms.

We hereby agree to the following as terms for ending the hostilities between the ‘Allied Powers’ – represented by The United States of America, England, France, Great Britain, and Italy, and the ‘Central Powers’ – represented by Germany and her allies:
England, Italy, The United States of America, and France will be allied with each other in a public alliance. None of these nations will share secret alliances with any other nation. The entire Ottoman Empire Territory (excluding the turkey region) will be split equally amongst each allied power to prevent future fighting for said land. A border will be established around the southern border of the black sea in the Ottoman Empire territories that will become a 'neutral zone'. This 'Neutral Zone' will serve as an allied trade port where any allied power can go to trade goods with any other allied nation. The territory established with the treaty of Brest- Litovsk will be divided equally throughout the allied powers. Germany will withdraw all of their military and troops from any other country but their own. All of Germany's overseas colonies will become Allied Sea Ports and Germany will be forbidden to trade there. The southwestern border of Austria- Hungary will be given to Italy for it has a mostly Italian ethnic population. The rest of Austria- Hungary will gain independence and become its own country. A five mile 'Buffer-Zone' will be established between France and Germany. The Allied Powers agree to convert their currency into a universal currency to make trading with the other allied powers simpler. All Countries (excluding Germany) have permission to trade at global ports. Germany will completely destroy the Paris Gun to prevent any major attacks on Paris, France. The Turks may govern themselves in their own independent nation of Turkey. Germany will accept full responsibility for paying off damages caused by themselves in the allied powers' territories. Germany will completely terminate its Navy. If any German U-Boats are spotted or in use, Germany will revoke its military as a whole. And lastly, France will gain the regions of Alsace- Loraine.
We, undersigned, agree to honor all of the above terms.
