Kaiser Wilhelm II had personally requested an armistice from the Entente Powers in 1918. This led to the Treaty of Strasbourg in 1920 which formally ended hostilities between the Triple Entente and the Central Powers. Germany was forced to give up gained territories from the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk. German colonies were partitioned between France, Japan, and the United Kingdom.And most prominently, the Confederation of the Rhine and the Saarland Protectorate were created out of the occupied land in Western Germany. Lastly, Germany was restricted from rearming its air and naval forces until 1932. Their army strength was limited to 450,000 men until 1933. The final two points of treaty were eventually ignored by the Germans.Unlike Germany, who got off somewhat easily, Austria suffered the worst. The Austro-Hungarian Empire, once the great power of Central Europe, had collapsed at the seams. Karl I was forced to abdicate, and a Republican government took control over Austria.To add insult to injury, the Treaty of Strasbourg completely destroyed the Austrian economy. The Entente saw the Austrians as the main starters of the war, and therefore had to pay harsh war reparations to Serbia, Belgium and France. Their already weakened armed forces were severely reduced in size. However, they were able to keep the territories of Hungary, Bohemia, Galicia and Slovakia as puppet states. The remaining territories were awarded to Romania or were attached to Yugoslavia. Southern Tyrol and Istria were promised to Italy, but due to local protests, Southern Tyrol was kept within Austria.However, shortly after the treaty was put into effect, both Germany and Austria would both struggle internally. The rising national socialist politician, Adolf Hitler, quickly gained support throughout Austria. Otto von Habsburg, the currenthead of the Austrian throne, used the turmoil within his home country to topple the Republican government of Austria and restore his former empire.Meanwhile, the German Communists assassinated Kaiser Wilhelm II in 1934, leaving his son to take control of the mess that his father made. With the Communist Revolt in full swing, Germany had entered a civil war. The German Civil War is split into three faction: the Republicans within Central and Western Germany, the Communists within Bavaria, and Monarchist Prussia, who is in control of the remainder of Germany. Germany is in great chaos. And then the New York Stock Exchange crashed. Unemployment and economic downturn had swept across Europe. People within the war-torn countries of Europe flocked to political extremes. Italy became a ultra-nationalist dictatorship in 1923, after Mussolini marched on Rome. The Italians suffered horribly both during and after the Great War. Hundreds of thousands of men died, just for one small part of Austria.Unlike the other two Central Powers, however, the Ottoman Empire was not featured in the Treaty of Strasbourg. With Turkey in a full scale civil war at the signing of the treaty, the Entente waited until the end of the conflict in 1921 to sign the Treaty of Constantinople. Both France and the UK would partition the Ottoman Empire’s former Arabian lands, with France taking Syria and Lebanon, and the UK taking Transjordan and Iraq. Iraq would soon gain independence in 1924, however.
