The Treaty of Versailles was signed between the Allies and the Germany on June 28, 1919. The draft of the treaty was presented to the German Foreign Minister. On May 7, 1919, Germany was given three weeks time to file written objections, if any. On May 29, voluminous objections to the treaty were received from the Germans. Although Lloyd George proposed certain concessions, Clemenceau adopted a stiff attitude. After a few minor alterations in the original treaty, a revised treaty was given to Germans.

They were given five days to accept the treaty and were warned that if they failed to do so their country would be invaded. As Germany was in the throes of a famine, the German Assembly decided to accept the terms of the treaty with the exception of provisions relating to the punishment of the German war-guilts and surrender of war criminals. As the Allied demanded unconditional acceptance of the treaty, and the Germans had no other alternative, they appended their signatures to the treaty on June 28,1919.
